Ive been using poloniex with no issues but i keep hearing its not good. Whats the general concensus on the best exchanges?
"
What are the best exchanges? "
Dude, there is not something like "best exchange" because I say there is not something like "best exchange"?
Because these exchange do not have physical office where you know you can go and complain in person if you have any problems, these exchange do not have a phone number to answer the support tickets... these exchanges are not regulated so that you can easily go complain to the police and the police and the courts will easily solve your problem.
What we do is only use the exchange even if we know that these exchange do not render good service. we have no other option.
All exchanges are risky even the best one that most of people have said, just what you have said there is no physical office and what ever. For someone that is not having an issue to a certain exchange it will surely be one of the best exchanges for him/her but if that exchange have issues to other people it will be not the best exchanges for them but it is better to do a lot of research about rating on exchanges before sending your funds to it. I personally have bad experience on one of the top exchanges so it is better to trade at your own risk and don't depend to what other people have said.
