I can't figure it out! Why would the price be more than a million in yobit and 200K in some other exchange? Wouldn't the yobit buying guy be wiser to buy lisk at bloombit for much cheaper? I think the only explanation is that people do not trust bloombit and think there's something wrong about it.
So, what do you guys think? Do you think bloombit will let people withdraw their promised lisk soon after it gets launched? Or it does it with a delay? Or it doesn't at all?
Something feels wrong here...
See for yourself:
Yobit: https://yobit.net/en/trade/LISK/BTC
Bloombit: https://www.bloombit.net/trade
1) Bloombit is less trusted than Yobit, in large part because it's a new exchange whose trading was rinky-dinky until it listed its IOU-Lisk.
2) Bloombit's market is pretty damn thin. As I write this, the low ask is 208,000 satoshis but the high bid is 154,451 satoshis.
3) Yobit's repute as a kind of altcoin casino has attracted a lot of traders, pumpers, etc., which seem to be absent from Bloombit's clientele.
4) Since Yobit's and Bloombit's IOUs are not arbitragable until or unless they're redeemed for real Lisk, the spread between the two exchanges can get even wider until launch.
tl;dr: Bloombit's IOUs are selling at a deep discount relative to Yobit because of perceived counterparty risk. Yobit's IOUs have rock-and-rolled because it has a lot of pumpaholics in its clientele; Bloombit doesn't. So that's why the spread between the two has widened.
For God's sake I hope the worse scenarios won't happen. If they let us withdraw our lisk right after the launch I won't have any complaints.
