I am scraping data from BTC China (CNY converted to USD), Bitstamp and MtGox, the top three Bitcoin exchanges making up roughly 80% of all bitcoin traffic, to see if Twitter bitcoin sentiment can predict market movement.<p>Comparing Bitstamp versus BTC China suggests significant arbitrage opportunities.
