Hitbtc's deposit and withdrawal fees are absolutely ridiculous. For example, ETBS which I want to trade on HITBTC, it costs 30+ ETBS just for the deposit fee. Its equivalent to $60USD+. It is hindering the growth of token's prices. What should I do if the token of mine is only listed on Hitbtc and coinexchange(0 trading volume)? Etherdelta is the last option but no one really uses it.
I've used Hitbtc once and to be honest the platform is really great and my deposit and withdrawal was fast. The downside was the withdrawal and trading fees are so high and you can't trade your tokens if it's less than 100. Unlike in other exchanges you can trade your tokens even if it's less than 100. I would avoid to use hitbtc for now.
Hitbtc is totally a mess on fees. but regarding on the thing you said about ETHERDELTA, it is a good platform to trade than hitbtc because of the fee! i am serious if the token only have hitbtc and etherdelta you can see more volume on ED than hitbtc as long as they are collecting super high fee.
Hitbtc will be gone soon if they continue doing this.
Stop compare etherdelta which has no daoly trade volume with hitbtc that has gained a lot of daily trade volume. Etherdelta is a trash and why? because the developer of ED can't even create such a good DEX just like IDEX which has adopted the centralized exchange site as the main system to be combined with DEX.
