Suspicious behavior on exemplifies the problems in taking on investors with a habit of terminating journalists. Obvious #deletecoinbase retaliation hit piece. an epic Neutrino apologist but I get it -- you're scared for your life. Only excuse for this trash.

It's not a "complication". It's how markets work. It might be complicated and above your head but that doesn't mean there's a gap in anything but your own education. As a journalist, you owe it to your readers to do a bit more than "report it exactly how you got it". Lazy.

Why don't you explain what you think a bucket shop is so that we can all laugh and move on. The rest of what market? Markets being 2-3% off is not unusual at all. This guy you're referring to is far from "big" and there was nothing irregular about what happened. Be barely decent.
Outside POV - Kraken didn’t “sell down” - Market makers and traders on the platform executed orders that pushed the price that way. Increased sell pressure on a single exchange can push prices 2-3% fairly easily and its those conditions arbitragers look for.

And arguably a disclosure that raised capital from Coinbase should probably be made in articles about competitive exchanges.
