Annual reminder that Dark Pools are still legal and they still rob you

You have a delusion a chart shows you reality; you know nothing; in reality the big money is not even on the chart.
The big money is off the chart; they manipulate the price before you even see it; you see the past.

The normies are being fed the delusion, "it's good to have dark pools because the price doesn't move too much that way".

You have to be special kind of retard to believe it's good to not see the price move until it's too late.

~50% of all trading, is off-exchange. It' all a con.

>schizo gibberish

Your lack of arguments, proves my point, normie.

Yeah, Squeeze metrics red pilled me on dark pools some 4 years ago. Crazy crazy stuff.

nice work op keep us posted
i take it a lot of this is going on off chain but it's gotta end up on chain at some points what the mechanism

like, at some point some bitcoins are actually bought or sold on chain right? and not just in some centralized orderbook. does knowing when and how much reveal anything on a macro scale at least? we probably don't even know the wallets maybe they do it in big lump sums or maybe they stagger it out. where do they get their bitcoins do they even have any?

Any serious reading material besides the wiki page, please ?

this isn't even a conspiracy this is just how shit works im just learning of it now but makes total sense.

>>One of the main advantages for institutional investors in using dark pools is for buying or selling large blocks of securities without showing their hand to others and thus avoiding market impact, as neither the size of the trade nor the identity are revealed until some time after the trade is filled. However, it also means that some market participants are disadvantaged, since they cannot see the orders before they are executed; prices are agreed upon by participants in the dark pools, so the market is no longer transparent.[
straight from the wiki article on dark pools

how the fuck does someone get in on this? might as well just join them and make money instead of bitching about it.

and then they sell the normie the delusion, "that provides stability to the market".
this is straight up stockholm syndrome shit.

you have to be already rich, which is a circular argument like "you have to have experience to get a job but you can't get a job without having experience".
it's all a con.

You buy shares in investment banks, which don't even necessarily always win, even when they have cheatcodes on.

true

another con, a share pool is an unstable unlimited supply, you depend even more on them that way.

>>It was only a matter of time. Dark pools, which are notorious for their anonymous transactions, are making their presence felt in cryptocurrency markets.
>>Approximately 40 percent of all trading in stocks was away from regulated exchanges in 2016. In December 2017, dark pools accounted for about one-quarter of the 38 percent overall of such trading. But such transactions have had limited effect on stock market movements because there are caps governing the amount and extent of trades that can take place within dark pools.
no such limits in crypto
>>In the WSJ piece, Taiyang Zhang, Republic Protocol’s 21-year-old founder, said he expects his dark pool to account for $9 billion worth of trading in cryptocurrencies on a monthly basis. For context, bitcoin itself racked up trading volumes of more than $10 billion within the last 24 hours. (See also: Should You Be Afraid Of Dark Pool Liquidity?)

The solution is to keep exposing them. Their biggest fear is the normie to know what they're doing.
They will never let you in unless you are already rich so fuck them.

so to establish a timeline

dark pools aren't new, but since 2007 they really exploded in popularity across the stonks market, from the wiki:
>>The next big development in dark pools came in 2007 when the SEC passed Regulation NMS (National Market System), this allowed investors to bypass public exchanges to gain price improvements. The effect of this was to attract a number of new players to the market and a large number of dark pools were created over the next 10 years. This was spurred on with the improvements of technology and increasing speed of execution as high-frequency trading took advantage of these dark pools.[citation needed]
but there caps in place on stonks dark pools

2018 and the first crypto dark pools emerge. we have now been under 4 years of dark pools and whatever effect they have on the market. what percentage of overall trade is now coming from dark pools? will this be regulated like the caps in stonks or will it continue uncapped and what effects would regulations capping crypto dark pools have.

how the fuck has this never occurred to me

>at some point some bitcoins are actually bought or sold on chain right
you'd think but i cant imagine what's stopping them from introducing it slow enough or mixed enough to completely evade detection

dark pools don't affect the price at all. its just 2 independent consenting entities engaging in a transaction off market between each other. usually off market because the size or volume of ownership trading hands is to big, it wouldn't be allowed to be done in a single block otherwise it would cause too much disruption in the market. OP is a faggot.

> if we have 3 chickens, and 2 out of the 3 chickens are taken off the market to another country, it doesn't affect the market at all bruh

Based economically illiterate schizo

>it would cause too much disruption in the market
yes that's the usual excuse they sell the normies
which is code for "shut the fuck up normie and don't look at the real price"

in case you still don't get it: you have no fucking clue if the sellers or the buyers are winning in the dark pool: you will learn about it after the fact and after the market has crashed or pumped without any warning to you and therefore without having any chance to reasonably predict it yourself because that's the entire point of what they're doing: to keep you in the dark.
