This makes the most sense.
A lot of the new guys doing trading on finex or stamp don't have much respect for btc-e. But that's where all of the old whales live. . .
For sure, I've been using it since 2013 which feels like a hundred years in crypto. Always preferred it over Gox and always thought Karpelès played things way too loose and fast over there, he missed way too many opportunities to be taken seriously, could never understand why people used it at all.
