Since you gave an honest review of Bitstamp from your own experiences I will never be using them, may thank for that background information.
Another quick bit of advice please, more curious than anything else. When these companies have ICOs, then cash in portions of the tokens for FIAT to make use of to achieve whitepaper goals, how do you they cash in tokens for several hundred thousand US$ at a time? I remember seeing a chart about an ICO firm that were sending 80,000 tokens daily over a period of 4 days to an unknown exchange at a time when the tokens were around $4 each so a lot of money to cash in.
How does you thick they managed to do that? Is that down to specific exchanges or something else?
You might well be fine with Bitstamp. Talk to them. They might have clarified limits. It's not as if there are tons of scam accusations against them.
ICO operations will either be selling OTC or they'll have sorted out special accounts with exchanges. There'll be a big difference in treatment between some random crypto nobody and a known player. On top of OTC exchanges often have dark pools which means you can sell or buy off the public order books.
With Kraken for instance all you have to do is contact them to raise your limit. They'll do it on a case by case basis.
Once again many thanks for your views. I appreciate it very much, will keep a look out and research more about this withdrawal scenario but regarding Bitstamp, I have been put off them now.
I just might contact Coinbase to see what happens then use them to compare with what Kraken and others say.
