Fall from grace

how did this exchange go from being the premiere Jow Forums alt exchange to low-volume mediocrity?

Too slow to list coins during the boom
Delisting shit for no reason
Changed UI to some dogshit
KYC

Nah it was the fees desu

Can't beat the bnb discount

shit UI

It pretty much died when they stopped accepting new users for months during the boom

KYC was there killer, but i dont think it will die

Bittrex devs: former amazon security officers, it-company security-specialists


binance: random immigrant chink from canada.

> amazon security officers
implying security officers are good at programming

>Delisting shit for no reason
They delisted actual scams though. SEC would have probably been even harder on them if they kept those scams on their exchange for trading. The rest of your points are valid though.

they were acting way too elitist.

Didn't accept new users, didn't accept new coins. Then binance happened.

They implemented anti pump and dump mechanisms in to their trading platform, pushing all the pump and dump groups to Binance.

That's the real answer.

thats why i use binance. im not saying i dont trust bittrex but their UI is shit. its easier to use binance but i trust bittrex more. but still i am afraid of USA jews like SEC or goverment who could shut down bittrex anytime they want.

This is the correct answer, although it's worth noting that Bittrex is one of the few exchanges that don't bother wash trading to bolster their volume numbers.

They got leaned on by the feds and shit themselves.

Unironically the best exchange.

boys i'll be honest with you

i use bittrex more than binance

i also got a kucoin account i use more than bianance

> low-volume
isn't bittrex the only cryptoexchange where volume isn't faked?

they have been getting back some nice volume in the last few weeks

>Interface changed to shit
Fees still high AF in comparison to most popular exchanges
>Closing down their exchange for new users during a boom preventing many coins that were exclusively listed on bittrex from pumping the way they could have(like on binance)
Minefield delisting policies
>KYC


That new garbage interface is one of the biggest things preventing me from ever trading there again, much like kraken. The interface is so fucking bad that it is guaranteed to lose you money. It's a shame because much like kraken it is the only exchange I would have trusted to leave my funds on for a few years.

Speaking about kraken, fuck those faggots. Full KYC enforcement for fiat deposits/withdrawals. It's almost like they want you to go use chinknance's new fiat shit instead.
Also fuck CZ and all pajeet bootlicking pieces of shit endorsing that slimy fuck.

probably the answer.

Binance is where all the pumps went. Bittrex used to be it when they had ANS, and maybe XLM and such. But then on Binance, WTC pumped, so a lot of people put eyeballs on that. Then Binance started going crazy listing new coins and there were new pumps. So slowly people left. And then Bittrex was getting buttfucked by the US and not listing coins whereas Binance kept listing coins. Eventually Bittrex just lost the users.

basically this
near the end of 2017, they fucked over anyone who had basic verification (name and address) and froze their funds.
they broke their verification system so that basic verification would fail no matter what. if you contacted their support, they would take weeks to get back to you and tell you that you're basically fucked. they ended up forcing anyone who had funds on there to give up their ID to them.
it was the shadiest shit. they can go fuck themselves

my experience
>log into bittrex one day
>account verification reset to 'new' even though it worked perfectly fine well into 12/2017
>withdrawals frozen
>try to re-enter the same info that worked before to re-enable basic verification
>verification fails within a half-second
>sorry. looks like you're going to have to try enhanced verification
>contact bittrex support
>they dont respond for 6 weeks
>"nothing we can do. did you try enhanced verification?"
its a delight to see them become increasingly irrelevant

I had none of those experiences myself luckily enough but I know it happened to loads of people.

Regardless they deserve this 100%. Fucking darcrus delisting randomly fucked me for 40% back then.
