If you had a Bitfinex account and a Coinbase account, you couldve made some easy money. Coinbase went under $200 for a split second but Bitfinex stayed under $200 for 10 minutes, hitting $162.

The spread was huge for those 5 minutes Shocked

They require confirmations, wouldn't be possible to arbitrage.

If I have 20 coins in coinbase and an account at bitfinex.

I buy 20 from bitfinex and just sell the 20 coins I have at coinbase I end up with 20 coins and 800 in cash.
