We don't have insight into the operations of private companies, and they don't seem to offer a detailed explanation in their FAQ. | |

| Dec 12, 2021 at 1:11 | comment | added | pee-yay-2021 | @Jörg W Mittag That is not my point, regardless of the rules that govern the price, coinmamrketcap is a web page with a huge influence on price perception, I'm asking where this value ultimately take it from. (from a technical standpoint maybe). I want to be aware if it is technically possible for a few players to easily tamper with the price. | |

| Dec 11, 2021 at 14:30 | comment | added | Valorum | @JörgWMittag - Actually you can arbitrage bitcoin from one exchange to another. The current price BTC price on Binance is almost 12 dollars lower than the price on Coinbase. If I had the wherewithal and two accounts, I could buy on one, transfer to the other and then sell it. | |
| Dec 11, 2021 at 12:30 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | "everyone seems to agree in roughly the same BTC to USD rate" – That's just how capitalism works. If they didn't agree, then you could make money by buying BTC for cheap at one exchange and selling it high at another exchange. This, in turn, will increase demand and reduce supply at the "cheap" exchange, thus increasing the price, and increase supply and reduce demand at the "expensive" exchange, thus decreasing the price, until the two prices meet. Note that this is no different from how money exchanges have worked for hundreds of years. | |
