Coinbase Pro recently raised it's fees so high as to block out ordinary traders. Binance kicked out USA traders. Bakkt is not going to be too much different as they just keep raising the bar and implementing more rules and regulations, making crypto boring. Gemini is just a greed machine too, while the people who own Gemini are already ultra ultra wealthy, and they just want to keep becoming more and more greedy.
All the business that started in the bitcoin market are done to make money and none of them care about the true value and vision of Satoshi. Majority of the early bitcoiners are also blind sided when money started pouring in and even they are not following the true vision and i wish to see true bitcoiners starting these exchanges which could really stand for the people and conduct a fair business.
Even i started early and used to mine but then lost interest as the scams started pouring into the market and there is nothing we could do to counter that. All we need is a fair market without any scams and if the early investors could join and come up with projects that could improve the market scene that would be really great to develop the market.
How the whole cryptocurrency industries turn out to be is totally sad but this shouldn't be weird to you guys because once some people notice the goodies of something the next thing they do is to abuse it which is what happening now and I don't think complaining or folding our arms are the require solution while we can still make some change happen by supporting project which still follow the vision led by Satoshi.
