Disagree with your point. As far as I know Bittrex never show fake volume and that's why we are thinking that is small exchange. They don't pump dump themselves like Binance but do you think it is a good practice. Pump dump better for whales only, I don't like pump dump. Mostly small traders lose their fund like us on their pump dump HYIP scheme. At this point I think better Bittrex for small traders.
Bittrex used to be the main pump and dump platform before they started to close and freeze accounts. It was the number one exchange for a while based on volume, and now it's Binance.
I doubt that Binance is faking volumes, because they don't need it. It's the most popular platform out there where people trade because the rest of their internet buddies trade there. Who trades on Bittrex?
I don't like pumps and dumps either, which is why I don't participate in them, but hundreds of thousands of other traders do like them, and the best place for this is Binance right now.
