It's difficult to trust exchanges. They do so many shady things now like pump and dumps. For example: they will block all incoming deposits for a certain coin so their own bags can be dumped on the market. It's very difficult to trust these low cap coins with all the pump and dump action, thats why I prefer to stay in btc.
That reminds, yesterday I was going to sell some of this coin that I hold on Bittrex, but once again it was under maintenance. I forgot about it, looked at the price and it's down today. So annoying.
