I'm in the same boat as bitmeat trying to work it out too, and that's what my conclusion came too. Not sure how that sounds scammy?

I pretty much am all in on bitshares not that that proves any thing here.

There isn't a lot of bitUSD buyers also I believe as buyers don't want USD at the present time, where bitcoin is historically quite low and may increase soon as well as BTSX just had a solid correction and is probably due for a rise in price next (although that isn't certain).

Basically a buyer of USD probably doesn't want to hold onto a heap of bitUSD with low liquidity (it just opened) so limited exit points in what could be a rising market for the alternatives. This will change over time as the market matures, especially with regards to actual uses for bitUSD.

Its back, be quick!

Arbitrage opportunity of a lifetime right there for someone. 

Needs 20M in bid and ask depth as well to get going

ie might need BM to supply some of that.

bitBTC would be an awesome market to have available ASAP. And yep for our chinese friends bitCNY too.

Would be nice if the markets we divided into live and not live that would help heaps for starters.

Yea there was almost 100 btc up on that wall around that time, didnt spook the market at all. Good sign.
