Driving the price up?

Keeping it down?

As long as its moving in predictable patterns for them it is profitable. Fake volumes is something these exchanges should be getting smacked for but no one seems to be bothered by it that I have seen when this topic is brought up.

Who's going to stop them? No one. And even when there are far more legit options, without leverage no one's interested. Greed will always win out.

We shouldnt ignore that though..

I saw a week ago someone pointed out bitcoinwisdom show fake volumes at random spurts at a time.

But it could just be the person reading the chart wrong.. I dont know. Id link it here if I can find it again.

Well although there is a lot of fake volume there is a lot of real volume too. My guess is that they eventually will add some fee and
the price and volume will be more realistic.

Which exchange(s) are we talking about here?  I honestly don't know where most of the exchanges are based out of.

No offense to the Chinese, but I doubt anyone would do anything about cryptocurrency fraud in that country.  With the counterfeit crapola being pumped out of there, I'm dead sure no one's interested in shitcoin dynamics on the exchanges.

huobi and okcoin.

https://data.bitcoinity.org/markets/volume/30d?c=e&t=a

as you can see from the above links, both of those exchanges have more than 40% of the total volume of all exchanges.

Yep greed is a big component, numbers make people more inclined to risk money, specially  those counters that move real time (or fake realtime) they mesmerize people somehow.

[unholycactus]

I always thought most people (myself included) ignored those exchanges for the most part.
Any exchange without fees cannot be taken seriously.

Thank you sir.  I've heard those two names on this forum before but I wouldn't even have been able to identify them as exchanges.  Are those the only two in China?   That would surprise me.

If you follow the price of lisk on yobit then that`s what i call a fake price the pump is too much then it drop almost 100% when yobit run-out of lisk. and lisk is not launch yet its an IOU coin from yobit admin.

We are dependent on chinese exchangers because most of the bitcoin that are now circulating are coming from chinese miners.

[pooya87]

it is possible that they are faking some stuff for more publicity, or even to pump the price up, or even possible they try to pull a mt gox.

but it is also the fact that Chinese are very interested about investing in bitcoin and they have always been very enthusiastically active in crypto markets, always with high volumes.

[Amph]

it bring more investors, so it drive the price up a bit, but if everyone knows that the volume is fake, then it will probably do nothing to increase the possible value

they're not the only exchanges in china. the other chinese exchanges also have high volumes. but are still normal considering the amount of bitcoin miners in china. those two are just unreal.
