As you see what happened with the last 2 IEOs on Bittrex, I decided to quit Bittrex and never comeback. Since 2018 I realize that Bittrex is not a good exchange anymore. Low volume, low liquidity, supper slow KYC process and customer support. They did like they were trying to be the worst exchange.
Currently the whole community is condemning and boycotting bittrex IEO. It is unknown what solution bittrex will offer to keep users hands .
And I certainly said goodbye to bittrex never comeback .
I do believe that such terrible situation that you experienced in Bittrex has been happening to others also, even in other exchanges like Binance.
There are projects in Binance that decline as well. And if the investor didn't get out early, he probably lost a lot also.
IEO is the new hype, but only few are gaining their profits, mostly are the big whales.
You have learned the ropes already, so you gained better insights from this experience. You will not be deceived by the hype surrounding these IEOs again.
