Well said!! But you should have never sent that much money to shady exchange like that. Or ANY centralized exchange. They are all crooks and they all steal.
I've never used Wex before and I don't plan of using it in the future by just reading your testimonials about that exchange.
There are so many exchange that you can use for day trading and it all depends on where you live, if you are good with coinbase you can use it.
There is bittrex, bitfinex, poloniex and many more.
