Imagine old markets when they were physically separate. If some Joe sold wheat for £10 a sack and in a different region Andrew sold it for £5 a sack, then the market would even out in a couple of ways:

1. People could buy Andrew's potatoes and sell them to Joe or his customers making profit as middlemen, increasing the demand for Andrew's and decreasing it for Joe's.

2. The respective vendors would see that they are selling at a poor price for business and adjust up or down respectively.

In modern day bots and day traders make this process happen near immediately. Markets can occasionally have slightly different prices but it never lasts long.

Because of people and bots, everything is connected.

BitGreen Airdrops in their Discord! only 21Million max supply
Stakebase listed them as their pair (BITG)
20/10% incentives means 5 friends/family staking PoS into BTC makes the service free.

there's always differences. i have a program running that checks only three exchanges and like 7-8 major currencies.
on days with big market movements like we had the recent days there's ~+5% on some trades. the opportunity usually stay open for couple of hours, very seldom days. on stable sideways movement there's at best a +0.05% gain on a trade. im now working on executing automated trades but its not easy. i doubt too many people have bots running its really difficult.

Currency is bought on the cheap exchange and sold on the expensive exchange.
The act of buying pushes up the price on the cheap exchange, and selling pushes the price down on the expensive exchange. Eventually they reach equilibrium.
