I watched the Senate hearing last night on Ukraine. A senator (Democrat of course) suggested forcing Visa and Masterdcard to stop transactions in Russia as a way to get Putin to the negotiating table. I'm not sure what this idiot was thinking by telegraphing such a move, but Putin must have been watching too.

I keep waiting and waiting for my cheap coins and dumbass politicians do something to convince the world that they are going to screw up everything they can screw up and Bitcoin is needed more than ever.

I don't think we are dumping today. This impulse up was too sharp in my opinion. I think we test the highs of last week before selling off again.
Honestly, what's going on with these Chinese exchanges is beyond me at this point. I assume the rise is based on short covering. But no rise can sustain for too long, not with NO money coming into the exchanges.
But for today we are probably going to see more up before we see more down.

Bitfinex shorts are actually pretty high right now at 9.5k BTC... so on average ppl are taking not covering. Longs are moderately high at 16.8M USD.
I was talking about short covering on Houbi, because they won't be able to short after the 10th. The rise on Finex was due to 1.4 million in longs added in last 12 hours.

...History tells Holland always leads the way in Finance 
.
.UR the tulip bulb guys, right?
Well maybe a little bit...
But credit where it's due. The Dutch founded exchange trading as we know it.
They traded the first derivatives too if I'm not mistaken?
I think you're right. So many good reasons to love the Dutch.

Is this safe? Any alternatives?

I wonder if a side effect of China's exchanges being hamstrung (at best) is that Chinese miners will stop mining because there's no easy way to sell their coins. That would lead to a drop in difficulty, benefiting miners elsewhere - though potentially placing further downward pressure on prices on the remaining exchanges.
I would think that the commercial Chinese miners can easily sell their coins in the Western exchanges or to Western clients, using Western bank accounts, all legally. The closure of Chinese exchanges may be a problem for small independent miners, perhaps. May 07, 2014, 03:15:32 PM
If anyone is interested: I saved about 1 hour of Huobi's transaction log from earlier today (2014-07-07) centered on 02:54 UTC. That's in the middle of the small hump that preceded today's mini-rally.
http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/temp/2014-05-07-0254-HUBI.txt
The file has 879 transactions. It was built by repeated copy-pasting from Bitcoinwisdom's chart (which shows only the last 200 transactions) reformatted and cleaned by a couple of gawk scripts. Beware of possible gaps or errors.
Unix users may be interested in the scripts too:
http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/temp/cleanup_bitcoinwisdom_trans_log.gawk
Basic reformat/cleanup script. Click on the chart, then CTRL-A CTRL-C, then paste into a file,
then pipe the file through, for example,
gawk -f cleanup_bitcoinwisdom_trans_log.gawk -v curr=CNY -v ex=Huobi -v dt=2014-05-07
http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/temp/remove_dup_trans.gawk
A script to merge several files obtained as above, with overlapping time intervals.
Save each CTRL-A CTRL-C to a separate file, run the cleanup fillter above on each file,
then concatenate the files in chronological order (most recent last), and
pipe the concatenation through
gawk -f remove_dup_trans.gawk

Oh btw just for your information. During the weekend of the bitcoin conference in Amsterdam next week ( who will attend this? ) there is another congress in Amsterdam. This one will be held in a office of the ABN Amro bank however ( just 100 seats ). A lot of Dutch bankers will attend this congress, like Jan-Kees de Jager ( former Dutch minister of Finance ) for example. Dutch bankers are really eager to understand bitcoin, i can tell you this from personal experience as well. History tells Holland always leads the way in Finance .
.Don't know yet. Are you planning to? Presenting something, or just interested in the talks?
