Maybe the fact that you won't find any real BTCC users here speaks volume
It may not be a scam, but there could be a reason the exchange is not popular any more.
BTTC is a future derivatives exchange, not a spot exchange.
I seriously can't believe what I'm defending here since I was one of the biggest haters of the former OKChina (now BTTC) and the gang like Huobi but just because the average Joe isn't using it it doesn't mean there is no usage. How many topics and how many users of CME you've seen a round? Does this make them irrelevant?
If you're looking to trade BTC against Shiba of course BTTC is not the choice, if you want to push your luck and do a 150x leverage, yeah, 150x!!! then there are very few choices that have been around and still have some kind of reputation comparable to BTTC.
im binance user but would like to open an account on 2-3 more exchanges for hodl and payments
If you're looking for a hold, then you don't need an exchange at all, you need a cold wallet, storing your coins on an exchange is a big no!
If you look for simple buy/sell options or sending coins to some partners then BTTC is not the best choice at all, as I said it's for pure mad leverage trading if you're not into this stick with the big spot exchanges!
