Can $20m really push up the price that much, when talking about a $125bn market cap? Seems like a pittance.

The market cap isn't the right benchmark, there are too many friction points in trading bitcoin for any holder to respond to any buy offer.

Ideally you'd measure the liquidity of individual markets and between them.

It's 20m every couple of days now. over 200m printed in the past month.

Which exchanges does one use if you want to avoid Tether? Gemini? Gdax?
