Exchanges

This page will go over a few different Crypto Exchanges I have used and what my honest thoughts are.

Coinbase: This is the only place I send fiat to with my linked bank or debit card for a small instant order. I’m in the USA and Coinbase seems the most Trustworthy exchange I’m comfortable linking my bank to. The problem here is the limited choice of assets you can purchase and there’s not many new low cap coins listed. The basic Coinbase site only allows for market orders and there’s no orderbook to follow along with.

Pros: Located in the US and trustworthyl Tokens are vetted

Cons: Limited tokens for purchase, no new projects to buy into.

Binance (Global) Early on the only exchanges I used were Coinbase and Binance. This is a risk for US citizens as Binance has banned USA from accessing the main website. They have by far the highest volume in the crypto exchanges around now along with a large variety of small cap and brand new projects. These are more risky than anything on Coinbase and have more potential for the really big gains. There’s a chance the project totally dies and is delisted.

Binance (US) : I have never used this one. There is way less tokens than the global app. Most of these are on Coinbase already. I don't have a refferal link for this one. https://www.binance.us/en/register

KuCoin: I stopped using Binance all together after forgetting to connect to VPN a few times and getting the warning. I moved to KuCoin and it's now my favorite exchange.

Voyager This isn’t technically an exchange but a brokerage. I used it once and never haven’t since. You are unable to withdraw lots of assets and have to hold in your account. Withdrawals take longer than any other exchange. $120 of LTC took like 37 hours to even be sent. They do offer interest rates to just hold tokens in your account. Lots of folks like this service but it’s not for me. I did all of the registration through mobile app.

Smaller Exchanges I’ve used

Mercatox - Looks very sketchy but has been the most reliable for buying and withdrawaing quickly with 0 issues. They don't have many well known tokens

Bilaxy - This is another with tons of coins but is slower and sketchier than Mercatox

BitForex - Used once for a certain token. No issues.
