There's so much FUD about hitBTC but I don't see them dying any time soon. In fact, they still have a ton of volume. Yes, they are an extremely sketchy website that nobody should use.
It's definitely important to keep talking negatively about these sites, as it may help people to stop losing out because they've used these shady sites.
It's crazy seeing a place like this still operate, but in crypto there is just too much information to sift through it all, so many people are unaware of what sites are trustworthy.
I don't think that they will die any time soon. A lot of ICO's still loves their coins listed on HitBTC, I don't know the reasons maybe listing on them is cheap or whatever, so people holding that token either investors or bounty hunters will obviously used the exchange to trade their token. And they are still on the top 10 per 24 hour trading volume, so as much as we say negative things about them, there will be traders who will continue to used this platform, but at least I already get out early and got myself relief of so many headaches.
