Howdy,
I've been using one for a couple months now and it's given no reason to mistrust it. But it seems weird to me sending my money to an intermediary that's neither a wallet nor a bank and is entirely online. Feels like the money is hanging out in some nowhere zone that isn't completely under my control...
Dies any one else feel this way or do I just not understand this stuff well enough yet?
Thanks!
I have trusted a few bitcoin on btc-e for well over a year and a couple of hundred dollars, i have made that back already and profit so if you take the risk only take it if you are prepared to lose it because it is only a matter of time before the exchange/s do a runner with everyones funds..
Saying that after all this time i still have the funds on there and they have been safer than in my personal wallets on occasions so even though it feels like you are feeding a blackhole with no return most the time your funds are safe enough lol
