At the risk of being kaked on again my blockfi is now only earning 2.19% as apposed to the radio add on luno of 4%. Can onyone clarify this? Ain't got a luno acc no more...
 
Poloniex fell down right after it hit 53k LOL.
Still down.
"Maintenance"
Right at the peak of trading.
I swear these sites don't have the coin to sustain the trading volumes we're seeing... or it's sitting out of market and they need to press pause to do a transfer. Hopefully we don't read of a "hack" in the near future while we're in silly season.
 
BTC 1 trillion market cap hit... woot

And 54k :thumbsup:

you can't compare prices on exchanges with no customers and no volume, some order somewhere is bound to find an idiot dumb enough to buy it

that's why when the news talks about a new USD all time high for BTC they quote the biggest or one of the biggest exchanges as a generally accepted price point for the entire market

TLDR; for ZARBTC the all time high can only be measured on Luno, with Valr being a reasonable substitute, measuring prices for historical high points on other ZA exchanges is a waste of time and just not representative of the truth

feel free to quote your source, I happen to know ever since Luno dropped their taker fees lower than VALR they have the highest volume in every coin they trade in ZA

as in ±400 BTC yesterday vs Valr's ±150 BTC for the 24hr prior, it is not even close

as a rough example:
coinmarketcap.com

Luno trade volume and market listings | CoinMarketCap

Luno trade volume and market listings
coinmarketcap.com coinmarketcap.com
coinmarketcap.com

VALR trade volume and market listings | CoinMarketCap

VALR trade volume and market listings
coinmarketcap.com coinmarketcap.com

Ah my bad. VALR were miles ahead a few months ago. Interesting to see the change.

indeed, they're still miles ahead of any other ZA exchange, but now miles behind Luno

it truly is a two horse race in South Africa, almost feel sad for the ICE3X / AltCoinTrader / even Binance if you talk specifically ZARBTC crowd
