this is not news, I believe that more than 80% of people have already witnessed the strange phenomena of the coinmarketcap volumes, so in my opinion most people already know that coinmarketcap does this. I keep using coinmarketicap to get access to majorities of Bitcoin ANN Thread of the Altcoin for being something that facilitates me a lot
Well then I guess I am late for the show. I will anyway keep the discussion open so that we know what people think of CMC doing such activities.
I think this creates a bad reputation for CMC and being a crypto giant it should not have been doing such stuff.
Why not showing the real statistics at the first place so that investors don't deceive in making their investments.
I don't know but they have a bad reputation since 2017 when they started accepting scam/ponzi advertisement on their site. They have been called out but didn't do anything about it. So I don't they have reputation to protect anyways, everyone is really trying to make money out of this market so CMC is no exception. I just used CMC just to jump check the current price, biggest gainers or losers and then do my own research.
