You know how casinos lay it all out, they're taking a gamble just like us? But get this, brokers might just be outdoing them in their own sly way. I’m saying brokers might actually be worse. Why? They’ve got this neat, little setup where they rake in their shares through bid-offer spreads and commissions, all while carrying zero market risk. It’s like having their cake and eating it too, but in secret. We’re all out here rolling the dice, while brokers are the house, cashing in risk-free. What’s your take? Are brokers just silently stacking the deck, snagging a surefire win with every trade we make?
Bitcoin brokers, aka Bitcoin exchanges are carrying a huge responsibility over their funds because once your bitcoins are gone, they are gone forever and you can't fix that. From one side, it looks like they make money out of thin air by taking a fee from each of your trade and that's true, they charge a lot but at the same time if we keep in mind the leverage trading, crypto exchanges risk here too since they are the liquidity providers. If many people open a long position on futures with high leverage and profit, exchange has to pay for their winnings.
If we are talking about exchanges, who really works with market - they has no risk with leverage. If the trade loses - they close his position. If the trader wins - they don`t pay their own money - they get it from the market. But if some exchange make fake deals with their own money - you are right and they can lose all their money. But mostly in such situation we here that this exchange is "bankrupt" or, if we are talking about cryptocurrency exchanges - "the hackers steal the money".
