So the article says this new method of calculating price is based on ~15% of crypto transactions correlating to a round number in some kind of fiat
You can use educated guessing to find that round number, as you have so much data pointing to it
But that's only 15% of all transactions; if there was money on the line, you could submit your own transactions to game this system for your own benefit. You only need to beat that 15% or so of transactions the article quoted.
