According to blockchain.info, BTC reached a peak rate of $35 in June 2011. According to the data available from bitcoincharts.com, the highest price BTC was traded in Mtgox that month (and until recently, the all-time high) is $31.9099.
What is the reason for this discrepancy? Does blockchain.info give the rate from an exchange other than Mtgox?
Not sure but there were a lot of canceled trades occurring back in the day, especially with the fraudulent access to login credentials occurring before Mt. Gox realized there truly was a security breach. – Stephen Gornick – 2013-02-28T13:27:25.653
3@StephenGornick: Weren't these things some time after the peak? – Meni Rosenfeld – 2013-02-28T14:28:03.973
Could you point to the page that says this? – Nick ODell – 2013-05-26T18:48:00.913
