Title: EXCHANGE OWNERS having an ADVANTAGE
Post by: PrintMule on December 01, 2013, 12:58:27 AM
A question that has bugged my mind for a time: How do exchange owners operate aside from fee profit?

While you await for your deposits to go through they can affect every possible bit of data. They have no lag or fees for trading themselves, etc.

Any exchange operator that did trades on their own exchange would obviously be operating on extremely unethical grounds, if not illegal.

I'm sure in "real world" stock exchanges this is regulated, but when it comes to crypto - their hands are untied.

Hoped to get more input on this one. Maybe I should've posted it in off-topic.
