Do you really believe this nice story? I'm old in crypto, I lost my money in MtGox..., in cryptsy I lost 3 mil XRP plus other coins - about 1 mil $US -today prices, so I have enough experience to tell you friendly that exchanges like bittrex or poloniex have a different business model. They are not caring about 3BTC, even about 100BTC if they can't control that coin and if they can't make pump&dump how they like it.
Right now they are pumping a lot the altcoins market and if you want I can give you a list with at least 50 shitcoins (scamcoins) at an incredible quotation. Do you imagine how much money they are earning from this?
I can bet with you that in a short time (a couple of months) altcoins market it'll crash and you'll see blood on exchanges. After that you'll see a maximum 50 coins (the serious projects) on exchanges. Also I suspect that one of polo/bittrex it'll fall down till the end of the year and a lot of users will lose again their money (like in cryptsy or mtgox).
My suggestion for the devs is to find another solution, one partnership with a fully licenced exchange, with fiat deposits, cards payments and withdrawals, to facilitate a large adoption outside of community, for football fans.

Dude, that's terrible. I feel for you. Have you been able to pull any money out of crypto?
Yes, of course, I can agree that I made good money in crypto. But I'm not a daily speculator. I was miner, trader and investor in original projects with a good perspective. Always I invested on long term basis. Also even if I lost a lot of money on exchanges I never kept more than 10% of my coins there
Right now, according with my experience and knowledge in crypto-market I can tell you that are 3 category of exchanges:
1.Low risk: - Bitstamp;Kraken;ANX;Coinbase; CEX.io;Gemini;
2.Medium risk:-BTC-E;Bittrex;Yobit;Livecoin;Liqui...
3.High risk:- Poloniex; Bitfinex;C-Cex..
There are a few small or new exchanges which I consider them at a low risk, because of small volumes and transactions. These can be good for beginners or for those interested in a small trading.
These days I closed all my positions in medium and high level risk exchanges and I withdraw all my coins out of there. I'll be very quiet next months and I'm waiting to see "WHO IS THE NEXT CRYPTSY-MtGOX?"
I invested in XFC but I really don't care now, for a couple of months, which exchange they'll use it, because I'll keep all my coins in my wallets or in game.
