Right now it's a "he said she said" situation. I myself made some mistakes during the process because I couldn't read with my own two eyes. As soon as I realized what was wrong, everything went smoothly. Maybe he's in the same situation, how can you tell?
Is it really a he said, she said situation when you have an overwhelming amount of people complaining about the same thing!? -- endless KYC to keep funds hostage
Is it really, when the exchange has displayed other scummy behavior such as charging 20 bucks per month when a user has become inactive for a mere six months and without notifying them?
Well, still a way to go? But still an improvement since $100 back when ETH blockchain went mad. And you can never go wrong with some Tron USDT, it's relatively cheap
Should we just ignore that most major/somewhat popular altcoins are above average in fees?
I wonder why your bar is low when it comes to hitbtc. I saw people thinking of dabbling into obscure exchanges because of the cheap fees but hitbtc is known to be problematic and their withdrawal fees are even above average but yes, it is still the way to go 🥱
Is it really wrong to hope for the best? I'm just trying to learn more and compare with my experience (genuinely flabbergasted by some of the things that are written here). Also, if they're so strict with KYC, I'm trying to understand why. That is all.
Being optimistic is perfectly fine but glossing over the overwhelming problematic stuff is just toxic positivity. There are far better exchanges than hitbtc, it's not like you have no choice.
