I hope you're having a great week so far. My team just published our next exchange review. In this review, we cover Bitstamp. Bitstamp is Europe's oldest cryptocurrency exchange which has withstood the test of time. You can read the entire review here:

i used to recommend bitstamp to others. it was my preferred exchange in 2013-14. but as time goes by, their selective scamming with KYC gets worse and worse. i wouldn't deposit money there unless i had proof that every dollar and satoshi that touches my account is unimpeachable.
