Title: Does great marketing explain why 75% of BTSX traded volume is in CNY
Post by: nethyb on September 10, 2014, 07:43:57 am
The fact that 75% of daily volume in off-chain BTSX trading is in the BTSX/CNY pair intrigues me.

Can anyone explain it ... is it purely down to the genius of the Asian' marketing team and others like Bo Shen.

And if so, how can it be replicated around the rest of the globe?

It can not be replicated!

The White man is stupid (for the most part).

Or we observe some artificially inflated numbers on the exchange. Cant be sure.
Hopefully such things will be gone after everyone starts using BitsharesX .

This is not good. Price is still controlled by some individuals. Marketing needs to start soon to get some USD/BTSX and others going.

Nope.
reason 1:Only China has large automatic exchanges.
reason 2:BTC38 is the only  large exchange that enlist BTSX in China.
reason 3:Crypto Currency is a small market with around 2 million people in it , only handful of them knows BTSX. And because China has the largest population,it's clearly more people in China knows BTSX than the rest of the world just looking at the ratio.

So,it's not marketing ,just a sad fact.

The Asians believe in things still.  The white man is obsessed with sex or America.  You turn them away from that for a second, and they will believe again...but for now China believes in things.

China has  already banned  crypto currency regarding bank accounts...but too lazy to enforce.....so ...still up and running.

Ya its crazy.  There are work arounds, thats what I presume is going on.

BTC 38 is a great exchange. Large community brings the high volume. Now with the english site many westerners are diving into the BTSX/CNY liquidity. Like a big magnet.

Chinese are very smart investors and have identified BTSX potential. After these marketing campaigns kick in I think we will see higher volume trading from western world.

China 19% of world population
USA 4% of world population

It will always be 75% for CNY unless...we talk to the Saudis (OPEC) and we have them trade their oil only for BTSX, hehehe

I would love to see BitOil traded for BTSX

BM said the CNY market will open at 3pm EST. I guess that's when the fork is. You can see the pressure building on the bitCNY:BTSX chart.

I'm more excited for BitOIL than GLD or SLV. Correct me if I'm mistaken but there is currently no way for the average person to trade the oil market is there?

1\A lot of users from western countries are also trading on Chinese exchange too.
2\Chinese have less ways to invest other than to deposit in bank, cryptocurrency is one choice.
3\IT industrial in China is not as good as in the States but very close, so building a large exchange is possible.

No way as direct as buying bitOIL.

But bitOIL is not going to be that useful - will need WTI and Brent.

Perhaps bitOIL.Brent and bitOIL.WTI to start.

I agree that the basic commodities should be very high on the priority list.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't btsx only traded on Chinese exchanges? What exchanges other exchanges can btsx be traded on.

I've also heard from some Chineese, that you hear zero about Ether, ripple, NxT... over there.  Unlike here where everyone is talking only about Ether.  It appears that over there, it is all about BTSX.
