There are rumors of Bittrex delisting BTS, and with them gone, there is no centralized exchange I would use to buy BitShares.

Here are the current alternatives to buy BitShares in a more decentralized fashion
OpenLedger
OpenLedger is a company on top of BitShares. They offer a custom Wallet/Exchange cover combined with a Gateway to get non-native coins in the Decentralized Exchange.
Prominent Pair: OPEN.BTC_BTS
Rudex
Similiar to OpenLedger, Rudex is a service on top of BitShares DEX. They offer
Limited coins available but most of them come with ZERO Fees!
Blocktrades
Blocktrades is a shapeshift alternative with roots in BitShares. They offer a web frontend and are available from within the BitShares Platform
Crypto-Bridge
Similiar to OpenLedger and Rudex, a new Gateway/Bridge to BitShares.
They have to work (lower) on market fees to become relevant in my opinion.

Every coin can be traded against BTS
or any other Pair :)
Going to have to pull my BTS off Bittrex, I'll look into the process

How long does it take for the withdrawal? For me, it never moves from the pending state.

Hi Mate
Thank you for the great info !
I tried to get the desktop bitshares wallet and be connected but I have a "Failed Sync API server' keep coming in. I tried to change API server and match the time zone with my Mac and nothing happen. I would like to withdraw my great amount of BTS to hold it but so far I can't. Any help appreciate it :)

Is there any official announcement or reasoning as to why this is being decided? It doesn't really make much sense whatsoever . . . Unless Bittrex is viewing them as competition (which they are). Sounds like a hell of a buying opportunity.
