I feel like a bull in a China shop at the moment. My goal is to buy Altcoins using fiat money at first as long term investments. So would like to use Credit card/bank transfer and use an exchange with the biggest variety of coins. I have tried to read some reviews on some of the exchanges and it all seems a bit frightening with lost money, no response to queries, downtime in websites. It seems like the Wild West out there.
I have tried just opening an account with Bitfinex and not able as no new accounts are accepted due to some problem.
Which exchange would you suggest to buy altcoins?
The best way is to take a look at the altcoins you want to invest in and then look where it is being traded as of the moment. When you found them, take some survey. You have to know which exchange has the largest volume of these altcoins. I am using this technique. But if you are planning to trade the major coins, try to take a look at Bittrex and Cryptopia. Both are great exchange platforms.
