I wish they will stop forcing 2FA for registration soon because this is very stupid. One can't be a member just because he doesn't want to use 2FA and doesn't have any problem with securing his passwords.

lol indeed, i didn't register on there for the exactly same reason. The idiotism is they already implement two-factor with personal unique codes and after that they require one more two-factor with google and sms. fuck that

It do sucks but you cant do anything about it since its their protocol and if you do tend to make use of their service then you wont really have any choice but to comply with it.
Security is always been important but i dont know why it would really be needed it on a fast swap platform.

Because people from higher up the chain (goverments) probably asked ShapeShift to do so.

Despite Shapeshift saying that this isn't the case, i wouldn't believe for a second that if they weren't pressured by US government/SEC/other legal entities, they still would've implemented these stupid 2FA mechanics/their membership levels. As i said before, it completely destroys their business model and the (only) advantage that they had over binance.

And their traffic keeps dropping. https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/shapeshift.io
(Although, this is more or less the case with ALL exchanges, so it's not exactly a fair metric, still though, it seems to be dropping faster than eg binance..)
