highly unlikely unless there is competition and if there is competition, you'd now have to pay two outlets to sustain the competition. There might be more valid factors to bring the price down, but this is the first I could think of.
So, basically, users believe in the platform Bitfinex (which I haven't heard of), because they want to believe because the price is high and they could take their BTC to a different platform and trade for USD?
Then why is it a bubble, ie. how would it burst? Are you alleging Bitfinex was a Ponzi-Scheme?
Why is the price higher, which incentives does the platform have to simulate a higher price that it can't back?
