We looked again at the guidance issued in December and we think it’s a reasonable for us to accept customer deposits via our corporate bank account,” said Lee.<br />He went on to say BTC China now believes the main message in the <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/price-crashes-china-outlaws-bitcoin-financial-institutions/">memo issued by the People’s Bank of China</a> (PBOC) on 5^th December was that banks in the country aren’t allowed to set up or become a bitcoin business.<br />The memo stated that people in China are permitted to buy and sell bitcoins and stressed that that bitcoin exchanges should register with the Ministry of Industry and Technology (MIIT). Lee said:<br /><blockquote>“The fact the PBOC said exchanges need to register with MIIT essentially means it recognises exchanges as a business category and BTC China as a legitimate business.”</blockquote>He explained there’s the potential the central bank and/or the Chinese government could “change the rules of the game”, enforcing stricter policies, but for now he is confident his company is not doing anything wrong.<br />BTC China has not experienced an upturn in trading volume since the company reinstated direct deposits, this could be because the move has not been publicised, but Lee puts it down to other factors.<br /><br /><figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_40923"><a href="http://media.coindesk.com/2014/01/BTC-China-bank.png"><img alt="BTC-China-bank" class=" wp-image-40923" height="243" src="http://media.coindesk.com/2014/01/BTC-China-bank.png" width="400" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="figcaption_attachment_40923">BTC China is now accepting direct bank deposits. Image via <a href="http://i.imgur.com/H57HYtJ.png" target="_blank">imgur</a>.</figcaption></figure>“Volumes in China have been down since December. A lot of the people we have spoken to have stopped trading, they’ve cashed out, so activity has calmed down a lot. Volume is certainly going to be low for the next few days because we’re going through a Chinese New year period,” he explained.<br />Lee said BTC China decided to take advantage of the current lull in interest in order to make sure the new deposit procedure runs smoothly.<br /><h2><b>$165 promotion</b></h2>BTC China has also launched a promotion to bring awareness to its Maker-Taker programme and reward its customers.<br />Maker-Taker is a system whereby those posting multiple buy/sell offers and increase liquidity in the market (“makers”) are paid a fee, whereas those who take the offers and remove market liquidity (the “takers”) are charged a fee of 0.3%.<br /><br /><figure class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_40909"><a href="http://media.coindesk.com/2014/01/maker-taker-btc-china.png"><img alt="maker-taker-btc-china" class=" wp-image-40909" height="300" src="http://media.coindesk.com/2014/01/maker-taker-btc-china.png" width="400" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="figcaption_attachment_40909"> </figcaption><figcaption class="wp-caption-text" id="figcaption_attachment_40909">BTC China has given over 3.1m RMB to market makers</figcaption></figure>Until 15^th February, company is giving 1,000 RMB ($165) to one maker and one taker every time the amount rebated to makers exceeds 100,000 RMB.<br />“The prizes go to the maker and the taker who push the rebate threshold over the next 100,000 mark. We have already given out over 3m RMB in rebates and given prizes to 62 winners,” Lee explained.<br />He went on to say BTC China’s domestic competitors charge 0% commission, but he believes Maker-Taker is a more compelling deal. Lee said:<br /><blockquote>“Obviously if you’re a taker, to go and buy and sell bitcoin actively, you have to pay a small commission, however, the reason you pay for that is access to the liquidity and the depth of our order book.”</blockquote>Because of this model and the depth of the order book, BTC China states customers can easily buy and sell tens of thousands of bitcoins without moving the market.<br />“We’re not trying to be different for the sake of being different. We’re trying to be innovative and benefit bitcoin in China. The Maker-Taker method accomplishes two things – it brings more market depth and more liquidity to the site, plus it reduces volatility, which makes for a healthier for market for bitcoin in China,” Lee concluded.<br /><i>What do you make of BTC’s new promotion and the Maker-Taker model in general?</i><br /><i><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kongharald/" target="_blank">Chinese money</a> image via Flickr.</i></div>

The Return of the Olympic Blurb!

He pressed more. “No, really. You have to pick one.”</span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I thought that was silly. Choose between the Olympics? Aren’t they the SAME? Or at least like two children? How dare he make me choose between my children! You just don’t do that. At least, not to me. </span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I finally muttered out “Summer,” simply because he wanted an answer. But it did make me consider why I love both Olympic events equally. </span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. They each have their signature events.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I say “Summer Olympics,” there are a variety of events that automatically flash across the brain: swimming, running, gymnastics. These events are highlights, and usually bring the biggest spotlight on the nights they are featured. </span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well, the same goes for the phrase “Winter Olympics.” There are also several signature events that flash across the brain when that is heard: figure skating, speed skating, skiing. Lately, snowboarding has also become a very prominent sport (almost more than skiing, in my opinion). </span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s not like it’s hard to think of significant Winter Olympic events.

We spend the four weeks leading up to the Olympics hearing about how terrible they’re going to be, how the host city spent way too much money, how no one is going to watch, blablablah. </span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then we get two weeks of pure, (mostly) unadulterated joy. Incredible performances go viral. Unknowns become household names. We yell at our TVs to “Stick the landing!” Grown men cry. And the national media forgets what it said four weeks earlier and spends a lot of time talking about everyone is watching it. </span></div><span style="color: white;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Every.

It’s a great break from the monotony.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With winter comes bowls. With spring comes basketball and hockey playoffs. With summer comes lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of baseball. With fall comes football and baseball playoffs. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Parabolic Trend Failure of the Day: Retail Hourly Earnings

The following chart shows the average hourly earnings for retail employees (not adjusted for inflation). I'm using quarterly averages to smooth out the data.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3i5dnFK8vfD-vBtw1JWHVbMYiXjgrpmYee_3Y8WCULX0gsyOtygs6h0G9XCTWt00BiR7TnYCydCj9d1F_48rGoUMzalkvlMdjwwLxgS3OC8QufM-0sZ03HNENbftOmLzD-NV_DKDf3Iw/s1600/Retail+Employee+Glut.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3i5dnFK8vfD-vBtw1JWHVbMYiXjgrpmYee_3Y8WCULX0gsyOtygs6h0G9XCTWt00BiR7TnYCydCj9d1F_48rGoUMzalkvlMdjwwLxgS3OC8QufM-0sZ03HNENbftOmLzD-NV_DKDf3Iw/s320/Retail+Employee+Glut.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Click to enlarge.</span><br /><br />The parabolic trend line in red uses the data points in red. As a side note, I first tried to use an exponential trend line but it turns out that the data was not growing exponentially (not even remotely). Parabolic is so much more fun anyway though! Very sustainable over the long-term (until it isn't)!<br /><br />Retail employees just lost what little pricing power they had left. Have no fear if you are one of the <a href="http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/USTRADE">15 million retail employees</a> though. We've been told repeatedly that our economy is strong and resilient!<br /><br />That said, we've also been told that online retailers wouldn't hurt the brick and mortars all that much and that the 10-year treasury yield would be well north of 3% by now (thanks to our strong and resilient economy of course). We're told a lot of things. If we're told enough things, some of it is bound to be true!<br /><br />Rather than listen to the financial "experts" on CNBC, let's summarize what the chart's trying to say in one rhetorical question or less.<br /><br /><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Can you say retail employment glut? :(</b></span></div><br />This is not employment advice.

Officially, the ailment became known on January 15. Russia had collected more than 50 million rubles for the treatment of the singer. Now she is undergoing chemotherapy in a clinic in New York.

Thus, the channel re-broadcasts on "NTV-Plus", as well as in the capital "Rostelecom". <br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8441125172513237"; /* biner3 */ google_ad_slot = "7346003106"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--></script><script src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br />President's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said yesterday that from a legal point of view, one can hardly speak about closing the channel, noting this: <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">This question is, shall we say, moral, ethical, and it is beyond the permissible with moral and ethical point of view for our people. This you may not like it, but I absolutely share the view of those who believe and say that the channel has passed all the facets of the permissible. </blockquote><br />Recall that the attacks on "Rain" began after placement on the channel's website survey on besieged Leningrad on "Was it necessary to pass Leningrad to save thousands of lives?" <br /><br />poll was on the portal just a few minutes, and then was shot by Ilya KLISHIN chief editor, apologized for the mistake employees. However, the publication has caused wide public resonance. <br /><br />Criticized the channel made a number of politicians and public figures, including deputy Irina Spring and Yevgeny Fyodorov, as well as Minister of Culture Vladimir Medina. <br /><br />January 28th president Cable TV Association of Russia and one of the owners, "Acad" Yuri Pripachkin proposed operators disable broadcasting channel "Rain». <br /><br />General Director of "Rain" Natalia Sindeeva believes that the real reason for such actions against active channel - which was released in November story senior officials of the cottages on the shore of Istria.<br /><br /><center><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8441125172513237"; /* video */ google_ad_slot = "9278264705"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; //--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></center><br /><br />Meanwhile, Internet users signed a petition to prevent tripping channel "Rain". Already collected more than 19,000 signatures. In his own Facebook Natalia Sindeeva thanked the audience for their support: <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">How I wish all those who stood up for us mountain, hug! And I had probably cry to hear from you all accumulate lots of love, emotion, effort! I am strong, and thanks to all of you, we will work and everything will be fine! We are optimistic channel!! Thank you! And now someone has created a petition. Subscribe! </blockquote><br />Sindeeva Also published tweeted a link to the survey, passing on the site "NTV Plus". According to his results against the use of "Rain" have voted more than 80 percent of respondents. <br /><br />We spoke on the situation with the "Rain" and celebrities. So, Ksenia Sobchak tweeted: <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">I learned that is "poll" can be immoral. And I think that can only be immoral answers. </blockquote><br /><br />Michael IDOV published on Facebook page recorded conversation with his grandmother-blokadnitsey that the question of whether the question of "Rain" blasphemous, said: <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">any questions you can ask in a dispute born truth, and if they can have different opinions, so they should be. </blockquote><br /><br />Vladimir Posner interview assessed the situation as: <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">I do not think that in the end everything will end that "Rain" will cease to broadcast, it would be wrong, but again I say, there are such fatal errors, and then how many times does not apologize, how many times do not say that this is an organized attack, as some say, it's all nonsense. This is a lesson that I hope channel "Rain" and his staff have learned, maybe that will teach him to be a little less arrogant, a little less to have a sense of superiority towards others. Just to really understand what journalism is what you do. I will defend you if you ask me. But nevertheless, what you did is unacceptable.</blockquote><br /><br />Note that, according to the guidelines "Rain", to dismiss employees who have placed online poll about the siege of Leningrad, not planned.<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8441125172513237"; /* boton */ google_ad_slot = "4392536701"; google_ad_width = 200; google_ad_height = 90; //--></script><script src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
