Fractional reserve
Discussion
This is only true if the fraction moves down proportionally to the purchase
You really believe there's 0% fuckery?
In light of the recent history, 0% seems unlikely. Holding to the question - βDoes "purchased" #Bitcoin left on an exchange really move the price?β - Iβm just thinking that unless there is 100% paper bitcoin at these places, the answer has to be yes, the price would βmoveβ. Seems more likely that they only put some of it in, so new purchases are likely to move the price proportionally to the fraction of paper bitcoin the exchange is carrying.
