Bitcoin: not your average financial commentator

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

This guy Max Keiser is hilarious, he used to be a stockbroker, he absolutely hates bankers, his show is very entertaining, I miss having RT so I can watch his rants.

Max and Stacy discuss the trouble spotted ahead for the global economy . . . but only after 2020, which is bad news for the Democrats. In the second half, Max interviews Arthur Hayes of BitMEX.com, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume. They discuss the latest in the crypto markets and the regulatory landscape. Arthur wows with talk of 100 times leverage on bitcoin trades.

He is not that hilarious after you listen to him for a long time. When the silver was 49usd he keep on saying "Buy silver crash JP morgan". What happen the big boys heard it and they go like "Do you really want to do this??? DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSS???". And take a look now where is silver where is JP morgan. Silver at 13 usd. JP morgan at 50 usd still standing, building support :). I think he did same thing with BTC also.

Absolute horseshit. What data are you going off? Or are you just taking their word for it? If you exclude wash trading and other common easily identifiable volume inflation techniques, and don't even consider the fact that they have admitted to selling out their own customer order data to HFT firms, they don't even feature on any top tier exchange lists.

The most accurate figures I'm aware of can be found here: https://www.blockchaintransparency.org/ ... erankings/ (detailed methodology at the bottom of the page).

A pretty good post explaining BitMEX shenannigans can be found here: https://medium.com/@mattcollburner/bitm ... 9b90baa693

If you're interested in understanding how exchanges sell out their customers order information to HFT firms which then use the info to shaft the customers of the same exchange that sold them the data, I highly recommend reading Flash Boys: A Wallstreet Revolt. It's about traditional markets rather than crypto but the concept is still the same.
