72033 dropped to 70645 but we are up to 71253 all in the last 25 minutes
The high was $71,949.
There is no need to use some other exchange or price measurement on purpose since you already know that "we" (not even royal) use Bitstamp in these here parts.
fuck bitstamp they are selling out.
I use aggr.trade they have nice bells.
learn to pivot bro do not stay stuck in the past.
Yes., you are doing it on purpose because you are a twat.
We've been using bitstamp here since around 2014 (after the issues with Gox).. and then there was some dispute in 2015/2016 regarding which ones to use.. so then CB was using Stamp, Bitfinex and Coinbase, but when CB returned, he had only been using Stamp.. and sure CB is not the determiner of what we do, yet Richy_T was likely trying to go along with the sentiment here.. ... as point of reference..
Sure, sometimes, there might be some needs to compare across exchanges or different ways that sort of subject might come up, yet there would be a reasonable inference that anyone who is referring to the price and not making a reference would be referring to bitstamp.. otherwise you are potentially being misleading.. and yeah, sure from time to time there have been guys who refer to prices on other exchanges and/or services, yet it seems that as a courtesy they will mention which one they are referring to, otherwise the default would be bitstamp... until we might come to agree that some other exchange (or aggregator) might be preferred or even cross-referenced.
It is not like you should not already know these kinds of things. . but whatever, you do you, and if you want to continue to be a twat, I suppose that is your choice.. maybe you will win over some converts - even though I recall recently that several other members already tried to be polite to you in terms of letting you know that we use bitstamp here.. so the mere fact that Robinhood bought them does not necessarily justify that we should change our default reference in this thread (at least not yet).. or maybe at least not until seeing some evidence in regards to bitstamp no longer being representative of BTC price dynamics.
You know (or should know) that part of the reason to have a default reference in terms of a thread like this is so that everyone is kind of on the same page in terms of what is the thing that they are referencing.. so that we don't have to bounce all over and try to figure things out (so maybe several of us watch bitstamp so that we can be somewhat coordinated with the way BTC prices are being discussed in this thread), but it does not mean that members cannot use other price services or references for their own personal reasons.. or other BTC price dynamic matters that they might be looking at.. including that they might even be totally opposed to using Bitstamp as an actual place that they do business.
I do believe that the arbitrage differences between exchanges is way less than what it was in 2014 - 2017 - though of course, from time to time we will see some considerable differences and even great spikes on some exchanges that do not occur on other exchanges, and there can be all kinds of reasons - but still there can also be some comfort to have a starting reference point in order to make comparisons.. and surely at some point some guys might want to switch to some other exchange (and/or price reference point), but surely we are not there yet.. at least not in this thread and purely based on your own seeming to want to make an issue (or drama) about the topic. Anything else you want to argue about? or are you just purposefully want to be contrarian and whine about something that should not even be an issue?
