Just got this message from Coinbase:

Note! We've exceeded our normal buy limits for today. If you would still like to purchase you will receive the market price of bitcoin on Friday Nov 8, 2013 at 02:14AM EST after your funds have arrived. read more

I guess they are tapped out.

free exchange is a honeytrap. it attracts liquidity and coins. gox will bleed dry soon if Karpeles doesn't get his shit together real soon...

For the first time in btc-history Mt.Gox lost his 30day volume leadership.


This IS historic! Poor Karpeles Sad

With free trading, anyone could.  You could build an exchange on your notebook that trades with itself and have beaten gox with free trading.

I saw this historic moment live and had to quote it.
3 days ago, I thought stamp could take the leadership, but btcncny won the final spurt.

hazek and the team make a great job, awesome customer support and if you have a question in this forum and ask him sth he takes the time to respond immediately.

Not like the guy from the magic cards exchange.

@NewLiberty: there are even 2 exchanges in china where you get a fee(0.2-0.3%) for trading.

Yep. He better get on the phone to Western Union and try to negotiate that buy-out (while WU still has lots of cash).

Damn it! When's the crash happening???

After it spikes over 400 a crash back to 200 for a short while is very possible.

They have Fukashima with which to contend, who can blame them?

Are you saying Gox bitcoins are radioactive???

No, but GoxUSD sure is...

Bitcoins - not even Gox can dirty them.

If they are matching internally, they are doing so poorly if they can get them off exchange less expensively.
Maybe.

Suppose their ability to send international wires in sufficient quantities was not scaling with their growth in BTC sales volume. In that case they'd have no choice but raise prices both to encourage more people to sell them bitcoins for USA, and to reduce the amount of BTC they have to source externally.

Right, that may well be.  Which suggests a forward indication as they take about a week to award the coins bought there to the Coinbase cloud wallet, so not even transferable elsewhere.

Coinbase buy price is >219, where are they getting them?
Maybe Coinbase has increased their commission? Or perhaps they are seeing enough BTC->USD business to start matching orders internally instead of relying on the exchanges?
This is their rate before commission.  They add .5%  If they are matching internally, they are doing so poorly if they can get them off exchange less expensively.  I haven't seen what exchange they are meant to be sourcing from, if it is themselves it is an opaque exchange entirely.

I should check the cooler, maybe they have some on ice.
