Anyone notice how lately the XMR price as listed on www.monero.how has been notably higher on the two smallest exchanges...

Code:

USD/XMR EXCHANGES
Price 24hr Volume (XMR)
Bitfinex 115.35 29,000
Bittrex 115.03 2,870
Kraken 116.58 2,544
Livecoin 121.81 261
Exmo 120.70 232

...usually these kind of arbitrage opportunities don't last more than a few minutes: this seems to have been persistent a few days since I noticed it.

Anyone lately try to arb from Livecoin/Exmo to Bittrex/Kraken, or what's the deal here? What's the catch? Some kind of hidden fee or something?

Counterparty risk. How much money are you going to trust with Livecoin or Exmo?

Exactly my thoughts as well. I considered sending a small amount and grabbing those and converting it to some shit coin just to take a gamble but i'm still in a short that I want to keep open. If it's still like that next week then I'll do it.

I'm afraid that now China, and after some other State, will begin to regulate cryptovalues. Obviously they will not do anything for the benefit of the people but all for the benefit of them, the State. They now have no control over anything ... surely there will be some state that will hurt and some State less but with taxes on taxes ... they will certainly not make crypto life easy. I just hope they let breathe the market for other few month before start tilting at windmills... which might lead to breaking legs to speculation or anyway the growth as we know it today.

The correction in price is overdue now. China and regulation is only the trigger. There will be more.

Prices of cryptos can fall by 80% in the next year or so, but it is just a natural cycle.It has happened before.

how to move around this time? keep hold? sell in part? sell off and buy back soon?

My experience with that is I have called BTC drop correctly a few times and have converted to fiat and rebought and it worked out gret until it didn't! I converted to fiat when XMR was 1.37 figuring I'd buy back in a month or 2 and I was correct but I had a bad run IRL and had to use those funds (850 xmr) and when it came time to rebuy I didn't have the funds available and was not able to re-enter and it was less than a week later that alpha bay hit out of the blue. So that is the Major issue you can run into. Things can happen over night. Also a problem doing this not is the fact that XMR is often tied to USD (it was much more so when the DM's were running) so even if btc tanks XMR will not reflect that as much as the other coins and has been known to rise with btc dip.

"I have been holding some Monero for some time, but i am a bit pessimistic about the future of this coin, especially
after the closure of the dark web marketplaces, i just can't see it taking off again."

Nice try at the soft troll but no-one believes a word of this, trying to accumulate?
