this coin have one of the biggest community, it's really a Pity not on any major exchanges
how about binance?
Anyone could use BISQ without registration and KYC, then at least the volume would increase there. Furthermore one would have his money under constant own control. - Other Exchanges do not need serious users.
But of course you are right: Except for speculation, Zero-Byte is not usable.
No amount of new exchanges would make Obyte suddenly moon in bear market. When Bitcoin goes up, altcoins go up, when Bitcoin drops, altcoins drop even more.
Bittrex is one of the major exchanges and you don't need BISQ to buy bytes without KYC. Even Byte-BTC exchange bot in Obyte wallet has more volume than on BISQ for same pair.
For low-volume altcoins like Obyte, the biggest factor that affects the price is amount of people who are willing to dump the bytes at any price. If the buy wall is only as strong as 25GB then anybody with 100GB can make the price drop hard by just selling all at once. Now if you have more markets with even weaker buy walls then users have even more options where they can dump the price. There needs to be more demand before more exchanges.
Users who FUD the coins that they themselves hodl are the biggest mystery for me. I think that only happens in crypto-verse, haven't noticed any other investors doing something stupid as that.
crypto currencies (sure, Zero-Byte is not one of them) are of course only useful for
decentralized exchanges. BISQ also offers the possibility to exchange BTC for Fiat (and vice versa) without KYC.
Those who use centralized exchanges, such as Bittrex, have not understood decentralized crypto currencies. Since even the developers don't understand this, one shouldn't be surprised that apart from speculators hardly anyone is interested in it.
The critics invested in Crypto do not spread FUD but facts that are uncomfortable for the echo chamber. It is logical that it is in their interest that "the team" should come to their senses.
Well, that is cute, but you can also find a person on LocalBitcoins to exchange cash to BTC, not that hard. There is nothing wrong using centralized exchanges if you don't keep your funds there at all times and send them immediately to your wallet that you have private keys. If you use anything else than "Face to face (in person)" payment method on BISQ then it is no way better than using centralized exchange and it is you who needs to come to your senses. If the payment method is centralized then it as bad as centralized exchange.
It is more safer for normal people to get their cryptocurrencies from centralized exchange than it is to meet somebody they don't know in real life, even if just want to exchange less than 1000usd worth. I hope that centralized exchange will be replaced with decentralized exchanges like BISQ, but we are not there yet and GBYTE volume on BISQ and Byte-BTC exchange bot clearly shows that.
