Like I said, large traders might get more discounts than the public fee schedule.
There is no *might* about it. Like I said, it's not possible they're paying the public fees because they'd be better off spending that money to just constantly buy coins to manipulate the market upwards instead.
And you know that isn't
also happening? Maybe their belief is that showing price increases
and spectacular volume is the way to sell ETH to the market, and selling a billion dollar cap coin as legitimate to market is well worth some fees.
This is a big deal. We already know the Chinese exchanges do things like this, but it's due to publicly having 0 fees open to all users.
It would be a big deal if you actually had evidence.
"r0ach said so" does not make it a big deal.
