But OK, let’s leave aside the title and attempt to imply anything about 99% of trades out there, or the basically Marxist take on all exchanges being exploitation and obsession with showing how you are being tricked or ripped off.
My guess is you are pattern-matching this post and author to something that I am like 99% confident doesn’t match. I am extremely confident the author does not think remotely anything like “all exchanges [are] exploitation” or has a particular obsession with being tricked or ripped off (besides a broad fascination with adverse selection in a broad sense).
I thought it an odd quote for Karl but didn’t give much thought after that. However, with this information I have to wonder if the choice to obscure the actual person being quoted was not intnetional to make some type of point related to the post.
Still, seems like the aobe reference to marxist views on market trades seems to illustrate another way information asymmetry/advers selection plays out. I was just wondering if that was the intent when the first name was placed in the footnote rather than in the attribute for the quote.
But I have been accused of being humor challenged before ;-) -- or perhaps I should say demonstrated my humor disability?

(And in case anyone was led astray: the Marx quote at the start is from Groucho, not Karl.)

I think it is pretty obviously a joke :P
Equally obvious that it went right over my head.
