What is the historical track record of fiat currencies in terms of longevity?

irrefutable.  zero cometh for all...

Thanks. 'Tis a thing of beauty!

Am I the only one that is seeing that coins on much more sparse on Mtgox than on Stamp?  If this is true, it would suggest that in the future it is going to be impossible for Stamp to keep up with Gox.

So much has been talked about regarding the fiat "stuck" in Gox and how people would theoretically have to buy bitcoin to get their currency out. However, the other thing is that who wants to sell their coins there if you can't get the money out? If most people with coins who need the money quickly would prefer to use Bitstamp for these obvious reasons, there is just going to be ALOT more bitcoins available on Bitstamp

We are seeing this in the last week. The spread has been over $200 for no particularly good reason.

Its a little crazy that with all these different exchanges, there are such different situations at each one that change the price dramatically and that most people are not (or can not) taking advantage of it (arbitrage).

I can't wait until there is parity in the exchange prices. Although I really question if that will happen anytime soon.

You can't take advantage of arbitrage because there is no easy way to transfer fiat between the exchanges. BitInstant was the ticket between Gox and BTC-e but it has been down for months.
