Why are prices on LocalMonero much higher than value in the market?

2 reasons

More risk to the seller
Centralized exchanges suppress prices on purpose to make people uninterested in monero because its price is quite stable.

I consider the localmonero price the real market price and the exchange price is the KYC discount.

I like to think of it as the KYC discount.

I think the price is quite stable BECAUSE the exchanges keep it on the same price.

It's stable because it's the only crypto that people actually use as currency.
