I haven't had any problems with polo (yet), but I'm looking with interest to kraken and bittrex.
Just a thought, an increase in traffic could slow down any platform, and in the last few months there was a lot of interest in cryptocurrencies from newspapers and general public.

Yeah, I used to use BTC-E but bittrex has been my go to! They are great and one of the only ones that require a 2FA for higher withdrawl limits!]]Happy trading

snubbermike (59) · 8 years ago

There is a good argument for having accounts on both exchanges.. Arbitrage being one of them.. Also the opportunity to trade even if one is down or experiencing troubles (like now). As customers move over to Bitrex, some of Polo's issues should improve, so maybe the shift will be a win-win.

Diversifying risk by using multiple exchanges is a great idea. Hopefully in the near future decentralized exchanges will evolve to dominate the market.

Everyone is finally identifying the risk of keeping all your eggs in one basket.
Bittrex is great for sure. Best idea is keep your trading on 2 or more exchanges incase one ever goes down.

thearcanebear (63) · 8 years ago

I dont keep the majority of my coins on an exchange. I own the Ledger Nano S and am always taking profits into one of the top cryptos from my other wins! Have fun, the only secure place to store is an offline hardware wallet, or paper! Exchanges are dangerous, be for warned.

You are absolutely right, its really the best advice. Only so many still keep a signifigant portion on exchanges for whatevwr reason, so if they insist on it please spread it amoung more than 1 exchange.

xinta (54) · 8 years ago

Hmm… I'm new to all this; I've moved bitcoin I had in poloniex&bittrex to a bitcoin wallet, but I've still steem and few other small quantity of other coins kept there; so, you suggest to put coins on an exchange just for the time to make the exchange, and then move them away in wallets. Though, withdrawing has a fee, and if I want to exchange more in a near future, don't you think it's better to take the risk of leaving coins on the exchanges?

$0.00

tnargav (25) · 8 years ago

Paying a small fee is nothing to losing all your coins.

Let's say you store 10k coins and got a 0.00001000 transfer fee, that's nothing comparing to losing those 10k coins right? :)

$0.00

thearcanebear (63) · 8 years ago

I do not think its worth risking, you can have better onlines wallets that are frmo your phone. If you are worried about fee's trying buying more Ethereum instead of bitcoin, which is now up at around 140$ from around 40$ just two months ago! So, its best not to spend. Really. I just like showing people that you can trade. I will do some videos on trading today! and about steem power and powering up! Cheeers Thank you for the comment

Well said! I also think that if someone else but you has your coins, you don't really own those coins. Basically if you don't have it in "your hands", it isn't yours. Exchanges can get hacked or shut down... Keep there what you really need to keep there but not more. Oh and yes using several exchanges is the way to go if you want to spread the risk.

Thanks for the sound warning. Its not the first time I've read this recently. I own a trezor, but it sounds like it would be a good to idea to have a Ledger nano S as well, it seems like its more versatile in its coin holding capabilities. especially for someone wanting to do a bit of trading. Is that correct? followed

I've been on Bittrex for quite some time and it's been my primary trading platform. It's good to see others moving to it now. I just hope they have planned ahead so that their infrastructure is ready for all the influx of new users!

The only issue I've ever had was some coins lacked enough volume. With all the new users moving to the platform, that should help. Apart from higher volume, the only other thing that I've liked better on Polo is the price charting but Bittrex's isn't too bad.

@kingscrown please do frequent updates about this topic because as of now, I am moving my btc funds from my polo and bittrex to my main wallet. This post can make a big influenced to other traders like me. You should not also take the possibility of unpredictable hacking of either of the two. If things get better on the side of bittrex, there will be an increase traffic too and might be experiencing what poloniex been experiencing from the past few weeks or years(as what youve said on your previous post). Again, please do some updates time by time. There are alot of steemians that do trading and probably on alt coins and I'm one of them. Steemit has a big influenced in the cryptography industry.

Sorry to hear that, all while you're here posting on Steemit. And, the fact that you consider Litecoin to be worth anything is pretty silly. It's nothing more than a BTC ripoff on scrypt.

I have been on both Bittrex and Poloniex. The coins on both exchanges you can expect Bittrex to follow Poloniex.

I traded well on Bittrex with the coins that are not on Polo. I recommend you pick one or some and watch them trade for the patterns from the whales for a while. After you decide you are comfortable with a coin, place a low buy and wait until it fills. Sometimes you hit when it is pumping, other times you miss your projection but if place a sell order and leave it...you will have success.

Now coins that are on Poloniex and Bittrex is easier to trade. Open up the Poloniex website and watch the trading there. Bittrex will follow them and you essentially trade like you are on Poloniex. Also, you find the spreads to be bigger and trading much slower unless is a high volume.

I find it easier to trade on Bittrex and have less stress about performance like i do at Poloniex. Hope that helps.
