Kraken was dead yesterday during the surge.

I am still collecting recommendations which exchange to move to. Some people mentioned Bitfinex, but I don't who uses that?!?. They currently do not process fiat withdraws (don't know about deposits ), were apparently based in Taiwan for their banking and having problems sending money out of it. How does an exchange fund if it can't receive deposits ? Don't liking it all.

I don't like Poloniex either for their USDT not sure I want to be in that at all.  As far as I know USDT is a coin tied to USD.. but I want pure fiat not another coin.

With Kraken unreliable during yesterday's surge, not sure where to go.
