Bitcoin arbitrage agency

In short, the principle of brick Arbitrage: buy low and sell high, buy money from the place with low price and sell it at the place with high price, that is to earn the price difference of different platforms

but there are three risks in moving bricks:

A. time difference of currency transfer: it takes a certain waiting time to pick up or deposit the currency, so it may miss the best trading time

B. currency price fluctuation: if the currency price fluctuation is relatively large and the process of moving bricks has not been completed, the price difference has disappeared

C. platform problems: some trading platforms may shut down services from time to time, or even run away

principle: carry out brick arbitrage on two platforms at the same time to avoid the risk of "time difference of currency transfer" and "currency price fluctuation"

before moving bricks: the brick moving platform must support the same currency transaction, and the brick moving platforms must be able to transfer currency to each other

Step 1: price difference calculation. There are handling charges for currency trading and currency transfer, so you have to calculate the cost according to your own funds. Only when the price difference reaches how much can it be profitable to move bricks

Step 2: simultaneous operation. Buy BTC on the low price platform and sell BTC on the high price platform. At this time, the number of BTC holdings remains unchanged and the number of usdt increases You need to pay attention to transaction fees.)

Step 3: balance funds. It is difficult to predict which platform has a lower price and which has a higher price e to the price difference. Therefore, the two platforms that move bricks need to prepare usdt and BTC. When the price difference appears, it is convenient to move bricks There are also handling charges for cross platform currency transfer.)

the above is the principle and steps of risk-free arbitrage using BTC and usdt. It also has a big name: quantitative hedging. The fundamental purpose is to earn usdt, not BTC

Bitcoin trading platform undertakes most of the functions of "bitcoin for cash" and "cash for bitcoin". The three largest exchange platforms in the world are Mt. GOx, bitstamp and btcchina.

the total number of bitcoin trading platforms at home and abroad is about 100000 BTC. The daily turnover of bitcoin trading platform in normal operation in China is about 50000 BTC. But trading volume doesn't mean bitcoin usage. Speculators keep buying and selling bitcoin in the trading platform, which makes the trading volume of bitcoin far larger than the turnover among users; Even less bitcoin is used for payment
there are many online bitcoin trading institutions at home and abroad, which accept the exchange of bitcoin and legal tender. Mt. GOx is the earliest bitcoin trading platform, which was established in Japan in 2010. Bitstamp and btc-e are two other foreign trading platforms.

If the website is attacked by hackers and all the bitcoin stored on the server is taken away, how to explain to the registered users? Mt. GOx, headquartered in Japan, used to be the largest bitcoin trading platform. On February 25, 2014, the official website of mt.gox was blank. Mt. GOx has deleted all of its twitter posts

At the end of October 2013, Hong Kong GBL platform absconded with funds, and the whereabouts of more than 20 million yuan of funds were unknown. The program of this trading website is very poor. It doesn't use SSL security protocol, and even the user name is stored in clear text. They don't have some basic programming knowledge. GBL relies on the broker to develop the new customer's "quasi MLM" mode
on October 22, 2013, looking at the market of bitcoin, Mr. Qiao, a citizen of Dongyang, searched GBL company, a bitcoin trading platform, on the Internet, and recharged 90000 yuan to buy and sell bitcoin through a third-party payment.

It was found that the registered address of the company was false after a check, and a total of 90000 yuan was cheated. This is the first case of "bitcoin" fraud in Dongyang City. The police remind the citizens who buy "bitcoin" on the Internet to pay attention to screening the authenticity of the website to prevent being cheated
western economists have a lot of worries about the current economic bubble phenomenon of bitcoin. Australian Economist John Quiggin called bitcoin as "the most pure example of economic bubble (perhaps the finest example of a pure bubble)" recently, bitcoin continues to be hot, so that the virus, Trojan horse active, anti-virus company said, January and bitcoin mining related Trojan horse variants of ten thousand. In addition, some netizens disclosed to the IT channel of chinanews.com that some counterfeit coins similar to bitcoin may have "special blocks" and be poached.

a bitcoin blackmail virus named "CTB Locker" is spreading in China. The virus can extort ransom from users by encrypting their computer files remotely. Users' files can only be opened after paying ransom
according to anti-virus experts, the virus cannot be cracked at home and abroad. On May 27, 2014, through the analysis of transaction data, Willy report website came to the conclusion that the soaring price of bitcoin last year and the huge increase in the trading volume of Mt. GOx may be e to false transactions, and may even involve insiders of Mt. GOx
nowadays, more and more people begin to suspect that the sharp rise of bitcoin in November 2013 and the increase of mt.gox's trading volume are partly e to a fraud. Specifically, a robot called "Willy" buys five to 10 bitcoins every five to 10 minutes, and this behavior lasts for at least a month
the bitcoin price of mt.gox has soared from about $200 in early November 2013 to a record high of $1236 on December 4 last year. While making early participants excited, more and more analysts began to explore the reasons behind: is it because Chinese people are speculating in their free exchanges? Or is it because bitcoin's resistance to government confiscation after the "Silk Road incident" led to a large outflow of this virtual currency
Willy report is a website with only one article, which describes in detail all kinds of suspicious robot trading activities from September to November 2013
