Why is coinbase trading $20-$30 higher than the rest?
Coinbase takes fiat directly and is a typical first entry point for new BTC buyers. A n00b won't start out w/ Bitfinex or whatever.
Can someone explain why Bitstamp went so low during the crash?
Yeah, they will always sell you overpriced coins. I just thought it was odd that they are buying so much higher at the moment.
