If they don´t matter than why do you need them to pump up the price for you?
We don't need them, just saying that there's no sense for them to crash the price two weeks before deadline.
When exactly do you expect them to crash the price? 23:59:59 @ April 14th.
Will the price go up until then?
They won't be able to as Bitcoin will have gained enough momentum in the meantime.
Thanks,
do you also know why Stamp is still mirroring every move from Huobi?
Will they be able to act independently after CHina is dead, or will it just be sideways for 20 months?
Bitstamp so far has always followed Gox or China.
Sure it will act independently. There'll be enough non-chinese buyers to move the market on their own.
And I doubt China is dead, it will probably stay in the same hazy territory that it has been in since January. They don't mind ambiguity and uncertainty, only westerners are scared by that.
