this retarded dumping has atleast created another wave of arbitrage possibility between btct and bitfunder and strengthened the bid walls significantly. overall this dip has strengthened this asset a lot.

thanks, retarded whales and lemmings.

How can you arbitrage between BF and BTCTC?

1. Sell at one exchange
2. Move BTC
3. Hope that the price hasn't moved in the meantime
4. Buy cheaper shares at other exchange

So what then? You have a bit more shares but the share is worth less.

If you are willing to hold for the long run, this could be a huge (up to ~15% at some point) increase in shares (and thus dividends) and the gap between BTCT and BF should be smaller when this stock gets more stable.

Theoretically, if people do the arbitrage and move from BTCT to BitFunder won't this mean leveling out? (more shares on BitFunder). But then again, you have a VolanicEruptors or two who have a ton of shares moved to BTCT and we're back to square one (or square minus two)

The share price will level off but the number of shares on each site will remain constant. The number of shares will only change if Ken transfers some from one site to the other, not if someone sells out on one site and buys back in on the other.
