Title: Pricing Differences without an Exchange
Post by: ruletheworld on November 17, 2013, 01:05:57 pm
I think PTS has grown enough that major exchanges like Cryptsy and btc-e should include them. There's already a lot of pricing differences in the trades that occur. For instance, in the forum right now, people are buying at 0.02 whereas the last trades in this exchange - bter.com is around 0.01651. That's a 20% discount right there, which is fairly high in my opinion.
At least the Chinese exchanges seem smarter about this endeavor!

A lot more trade volume here on the forum than on bter.com, so that discount doesn't mean much (and someone will do arbitrage sooner or later). The highest volume is on btc38.com -approaching 50k PTS in 24h-, which currently is at ~0.019.
