Our national bank just concluded that arbitrage opportunities do not exist in cryptocurrency: http://www.coindesk.com/bank-canada-research-cryptocurrency-arbitrage-doesnt-exist/

Given the sheer number of people in our Co-op (and probably on this forum) who make money doing arbitrage with crypto, I find it surprising. These people are supposed to have PhDs

They messed up in their study. The problem they ran into was being theoretical and looking at price charts. THey don't understand that within a few hours the price can have a 10% dip then a 20% rise. I saw it all the time months ago with altcoins. These people don't know what they are talking about, many altcoins made people money within the first few days of it coming out.
