ion is on 1 exchange... 2 if you count their own. i wouldnt because any coin that runs its own market can taint it so it should be ignored.
if bittrex folds or fails where is ion? its only on bittrex because they paid the btc fee. its not there on its merits.
I think their own exchange is disabled, you can only buy (but not sell) IONs through their Shapeshift API. There is also an interesting question that no one wants to ask - where are those IONs coming from. But that's a different story.
And Bittrex is doing a Cryptsy... locking withdrawals and pretending it's due to KYC.
You need to let it go. It is over for me. Read them, hope he gets everything coming to him.
I agree with you. Not whitewashing anything. My dealings with him in the beginning were good. Not so much after. Not really relevant to Ion, IMO. My numbers above are relevant when comparing the performance of Ion to Btc and other coins as you suggested. Btc and Ion purchased on 1-1-17 and sold today would net 1441%, and 1192%, respectfully. Not counting Masternode proceeds. Your comment about DCR rang true for me as well, dual mining, like getting little Christmas presents.

You're the one who brought up a bunch of lies and now I need to let go because you don't like it being pointed out?

You seem to have learned this debate technique from the Grand Paycoiner himself. Lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny... As I said above (and you didn't like that either) - the attitude is the problem.
I've not had any trouble with Bittrex, but I have seen posts of people having trouble. I try not to keep anything online except what I need to take care of a task. That is the only exchange with Ion. I believe Ionomy is working on their exchange. A Masternode currently generates roughly 723.21 Ions a month and there are 472 of them. That is 341,355.12 Ion per month. The masternode count was 448 on October 2, 2017. If someone sells their Masternode, that is 20,000 Ions.
I guess the part where I agreed with you was not enough? Bunch of lies? You can hang onto your hate for PC and GAW and Garza, I let it go. Life is too short to let evil people bring you down. I had hoped for a good exchange of information here, looks like it is not going to happen. I do appreciate the thought of comparing coins for a year back, though. I will try and hodl more! I wish you well and hope your year is fantastic.
