How can you focus on learning and at the same time say that you don't need to figure out what are market makers?
It defies the whole point of learning about it!
Anyhow, I don't see why everyone is overcomplicating this stuff while the name speaks for themselves:
- maker, the ones that put an offer for either sell or buy creating the order book
- taker, the one that takes the first offer available for either his sell or buy at the current price
That is literally the whole thing, it took you just two sentences to explain it, and that's it. I think what "market makers" they mean, is not the people who put out offers and people who take those offers, I think they are talking about "people who can manipulate the market", like whales for example.It defies the whole point of learning about it!

I know it may sound complicated, because it ISN'T what that means, people confuse terms sometimes, but market maker may mean someone who makes the price go down or up, or at least someone who tries to. That seems like the most common way, and I believe that we are going to be doing just fine about it. I think it should be noted that we are going to end up with something that will take a while, and we need to remember what we are doing while we are here as well.
That was my whole point tho in my post, explaining that the first approach defines who a market maker is
