@cryptotim market makers, exchanges, brokerages etc. try to keep as few shares or coins as possible on hand because they assume more risk by holding more. In fact if they have to hold more that means they will increase the bid ask spread. If you read this link, read the whole thing, it may make more sense why Ryan is definitely wrong http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketmaker.asp As a general "sniff" test to see if what Ryan and others are saying makes sense think of Bernie Madoff. He had multiple billions of dollars of securities under his control and promised only about 10% a year, yet could not maintain the Ponzi once the market had a downturn. I suspect this will likely be the case with Bitconnect. I think in the long term the crypto market will go very high. However, at some point I think there will be a significant drawdown. When that happens Bitconnect will likely collapse.
