No, you're right. Its why CampBX isnt important. If they went to $500 it wouldnt effect the other markets at all.

If CBX went to $500 I'd move coins there and sell them, move fiat to my bank, then wire it back to bitfinex.
Hell, at that price you could just buy the coins thru localbitcoins.

Well yeah, but its like when rmbtb CNY went to 1500 the other day.. no other exchanges gave a fuck. Because they arent significant. Significance comes in the form of volume and trust.

Bitstamp is #1 in that I think. Followed by Gox.

Then maybe BTC-China and BTC-E.

CNY went to 1337.

Google trends image. What exactly is fueling this rally? This tells me it's old money doing the same all over.





maybe there is a service called "baidu trends"?

Zero trade fees in china is fueling this pump/fake-rally.

Zero trade fees are what's called "free market." So I have no idea why you think that would distort the market.
It's pretty easy to fake volume when there are no financial constraints to doing so. Don't you think? A single whale can repeatedly buy and sell his own coins. (That's not to say the market won't roll over him or that this is what is happening)

Sure you can manipulate volume. How will that help in manipulating price?
You don't think manipulating volume can affect price action? Re price manipulation, that would depend on how much of the coins/fiat on the exchange is controlled by the whale. Is it impossible that one could drive up the inter-exchange rate this way? Or would he just be run over by arbitrage? I don't really know, I'm just brainstorming...

No one can arb using an exchange located in a country that has capital controls!!!  Go ahead try to move fiat money out of China... and you thought Gox was hard...

I'm pretty sure people can arb. After all lots of the people who have money in stuff like OKPay & LibertyReserve were Chinese. Obviously if you can get money into those types of things you can use similar approaches to arb.

Okay... i stand corrected... there is no *easy way*...

Anyway, just continue. Nothing brings me more joy than watching jokers like you and Rampion lose their coins because they think they know it all.

I wouldn't normally waste time on taking issue with this sort of thing, but in the few months that I've been using this forum, I've seen that all of your posts are derogatory and not in the slightest bit constructive.  You sound like a whining teenager.  Consider yourself added to my ignore list.

I like shroomsy´s hate comments.
He took the advice from Blitz, Rampion and others and sold on the way down to 65$, then he got burnt.

I can see it in front of my closed eyes, everytime he see a posting from some of them, his pulse is going to 180, he gets red and begins to snuffle.

Very amusing everytime.

I agree with sitarow, the new USA regulation about international wire transfer is a serious thing

@shroomskit: is your avatar pic deliberately showing self-mockery or just a coincidence?

His reputation precedes him. I recognize shroomskit from another forum where he was equally as obnoxious.

Volume manipulation can only affect price within the spread. I suppose it could indirectly affect price by screwing over other daytrader's indicators, but I don't think they could reliably do so in a way that would actually cause a defined trend in one direction.
I figured that large manipulation of volume could skew indicators-- possibly could indicate a lot of buying pressure that is not real. Which in turn, could affect price action. Sort of talking out of my ass here, though.

No, you're right. Its why CampBX isnt important. If they went to $500 it wouldnt effect the other markets at all.

However, if they went to $300, but the volume was 20k... then, others would react. So, if BTCChina volume is "mostly real", then its being followed properly. If its mostly fake due to zero fees, then this rally is on something that is not as it seems.
