Yes, definitely. Thanks again for your vision.

Since you mention you sometimes miss leveraged trading as an option. Don't you consider it possible to use bitfinex or some other exchange for this in smaller amounts? Or isn't there a leveraged exchange at this point you trust enough to trade on it, even in smaller amounts? Or do you consider the amount of funds you would care to risk to be too little to make it worth your while to even start trading leveraged?

I consider leveraged trading something that can give a great boost to crypto-land. It could bring in huge amounts of funds and liquidity by simple swaps and interest earnings. However, it has to be done right. And apparently at this point something seems to be missing on that front?

That's exactly my own reasoning. But right now, I'm also in the process of moving away from day / week trading to something more like monthly trading. Margin trading doesn't really fit into that, imo, at least not with the sometimes extremely volatile to the upside Bitcoin market.

To be clear, I have nothing against Bitfinex. Exchange seems properly run etc. Just that I consider Bitstamp slightly more "conservative", and as such, slightly more secure for reasonably large deposits sitting on-exchange.
