I'm going to discuss something that keeps making me nervous. I'm that kind of a person who likes the decentralization, the privacy, the freedom and the equality in the financial world. It comes to my mind that these exchangers might someday be selfish, crypto is getting worthy and it will bring the eyes of the greedy peoples. Imagine that these exchangers grabs the trust of the peoples and then they start manipulating the market. The total volume in the exchangers is not stabe and peoples will never withdraw all their funds. Let's say that the amount of the holdings that an exchange have is 1000 btc, they could easily create sell walls of 1500 btc and peoples will buy because they trust these exchangers. What will happen then? Imagine that all the exchangers do this, what's your thoughts on this fact?.
I got a little heads up for you, it already is happening. Unfortunately in crypto you still have to expect the worst but hope for the best. This I would imagine would be more prevalent where there is little to no arbitrage availability with a coin. So if one exchange has exclusively secured all the volume of a coin I would recommend to stay away because greed usually wins out and its bound to be manipulated
Well there is a very little number of exchange which gives real value ,real volume, most of them are fake, so better to seek advice from experts which exchange gives a real liquidity to the users as trading not is not good to trade at. Binance is one of example of trading with really good volume.
I wouldn't buy something based on volume anyway. I was talking merely in the sense that if one exchange has all the volume or only listing of a coin I would stay away
It's too easy to manipulate. Now if there are 10 different exchanges than It would be slightly harder (still obviously possible) to manipulate a coin because arbitrage exists and would stop any manipulated pump or dump
