Can secondary Bitcoin markets succeed in a global market?

[Greed Dev]

Ok, I might have some difficulty explaining the concept, but the background for this is simple. Let's say the US SEC wants to make sure that global Bitcoin exchange prices cannot influence the Bitcoin price in their regulated market, would it not be easier for them to just allow price determination based on trading prices within exchanges that adhere to their regulations?

Let's say, they can introduce specific guidelines with rules that needs to be adhered to for exchanges to be included in their market and for price determination. If exchanges adhere to these requirements, then institutional investments can be based on your exchange trading volume, but if you do not adhere to these requirements, your exchange price will be ignored?

Can a separate market like this, help to reduce Bitcoin price manipulation for local markets that wants strict control over price manipulation and can they operate independently from a global Bitcoin market?

Ps.. I am not a professional trader, so my lingo might be wrong, so I hope you can understand what I am saying. Merit goes to the person that puts this in a post that explains this with the correct terminology for everyone to understand.  

A separate market is not one of the great options. The crypto market is considered a decentralized market and manipulation has made many traders excited. This is also the most special point of the market and I like manipulation. We should not have such separate adjustments, it will not bring a positive effect to the crypto market.

They can't. There is no way there is regulations on bitcoin price when it comes to SEC or anything else, bitcoin is free market and the price of it will never be regulated, there is no governments or banks or anything behind it, its purely peoples money and we can make it go down or go up. They can certainly increase it or decrease it depending on their news or reactions but they can't "control" it like "bitcoin can't go up 20% in a day" type of things won't happen.

It is just against the nature of bitcoin and nobody in the world has the power to do that. They can "ban" bitcoin to drop the price or they can "support" bitcoin to increase the price but when it comes to regulating it there is no one with that power. That is why it is called decentralized and that's why we like it.

I think the global bitcoin market should be referred in economics as a free market because it is not necessarily regulated or monitored with rules. Therefore, the free market can be a measure of determination of prices in regulated market. That is for real or physical market terminology but strictly to bitcoin, I don't think there is a regulated market so far and this is why the volatility is not going off. If there was regulation, the market won't be independent of itself.

I want to also state that, economic or physical experience will not work for bitcoin.

The result when only seen at the end only but the possibility is available half of its situation and it needs to improve when it comes to making the the better market and there will be lots of support will be the only way to get succeed.

No, this kind of market won't succeed because crypto traders are greedy and are always taking advantage of cryptos volatility.

That is the fact about everything in cryptocurrencies market!  I am a trader and I buy and sell bitcoin in other to take advantage of the volatility for profits.  If the current state of the market continue then we should not expect a secondary bitcoin market.  It is truth that we are still at the early stages of the whole thing but most of the traders like me are just here for profits.

Washington's control and influence in international finance is waning, and Trump seems intent on accelerating this decline. You guys need to forget about the SEC and Bitcoin, and watch what they are doing with the US dollar. I gather some states are now changing the category, and thus the taxation, of gold coins and bullion bars. Obviously they are now planning to replace the dollar.

[Ucy]

I guess you mean some sort of parallel market price for Bitcoin. I doubt it can be done by the regulator without forking & creating another version of Bitcoin with different prices.

By the way, your ideas will likely favor only the holders of the regulated Bitcoin by encouraging alot of arbitrage trading on permissionless exchanges while it will be hard for traders that do not qualify to trade on the regulated exchanges.

The only way this could work is to create more Bitcoins  on Bitcoin blockchain (through fork?) that are customely built for the regulated exchanges.

if that really happens, then they will direct the cryptocurrency, of course they will profit as much as possible, because they have a large block of course, and eventually most countries will follow it

The main thing is that no one is in control, so these exchanges will just continue to do as it pleases them. They are free to always manipulate prices and do whatever they want and also set fake trading volume to deceive. That's one of the reasons why you should only go for exchanges that are well trusted and has good reputation.

Cryptocurrency is mainly more of mind games. And I don't even think they are ready to let the government do as you have said here.

Market price gaps are already happening without the need for the SEC to add any other regulation for it. Just take a look at how South Korea has done it, they smartly made arbitrage trading impossible for foreigners just by requiring their traders to be based on their country before they even be allowed to trade in their exchanges. All local exchanges required their users to submit proper KYC with proof that they live in South Korea. And so far the way I see it with big price gaps during the 2017 bull run we saw they are somehow not influenced to the foreign markets, simply because no foreign body can infouence it directly.

yes, there is no government or bank that can regulate bitcoin price movements unless indeed bitcoin can be concentrated in one country like the US dollar which is the benchmark of global currencies. bitcoin is indeed a free market that is controlled by its users / people who use it, there is an increase and decrease in market prices of course based on the demand and supply in it and cannot be done by people who intentionally play the price

I think it would be better if the market aligns itself. As far as I know, this is the most viable system at the moment. What you propose at one time was used in many countries with a planned economy such as the USSR and other countries, and now it is often used in those countries that are experiencing a crisis. For example, in Bolivia. This is detrimental to the market. Suppose that on all exchanges the price will be higher and on one will be lower, but there will be many willing to sell and everyone will rush to that exchange that will not be allowed to sell in order to sell profitably. This is how the shadow economy is created.

A second bitcoin market to succeed, yes maybe is possible but this can take time and this will need a lot of people who invest on market to have a long run and only after can succeed.

Yes - but the reason the SEC refused to allow a traded ETF on bitcoin is precisely because they're not sure which exchanges should be allowed to set the price. As you said, during the 2017 bull run, the Korean exchanges were showing a higher price - should that price be in the basket of exchanges valuing the ETF? They were also worried about the Chinese exchanges and their fake volume (no longer a problem now as China has shut down all the exchanges). And of course there is the Bitfinex problem.

IMO the SEC will only allow an ETF if the bulk of volume on crypto trading happens on regulated exchanges. As long as most of it happens on exchanges outside their jurisdiction, they'll continue to say no to an ETF.

by looking at the future potential of the analysis we have, of course the second bitcoin can generate a lot of profits, but it must be smart to see developments in the future, so that we don't waste time waiting for it. on the other hand there are actually many projects from the lower ranks that skyrocket because they have the trust of various elements

It's already stated by SEC itself about what the factor that prevents bitcoin ETF to be approved by SEC. I suggest you take a look on this link https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2018/11/27/sec-chair-crypto-etf-approval-is-dependent-on-exchanges-being-free-from-manipulation/
The problem is not about there must be a centralization of bitcoin trave volume in the regulated exchange site but the crypto market must free from the manipulation. I think that's already answered various question about the rejection of bitcoin ETF.
