You should be able to verify your account pretty easily. I vaguely remember the approval for basic/phone verification taking a few min/hours few weeks back. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade my account to "Enhanced Verification" level (the highest level and you can withdraw >100 BTC) and it took me about 10 min. to get it approved. I just had to upload an ID document and a selfie, that's it! It is still much quicker than getting verified on other exchanges such as Kraken/Coinbase/CEX.
I'd advise you to get your account verified just in case you need to withdraw large amounts in the future.
I don't feel comfortable at all uploading pictures of myself holding an ID on the internet, let alone on some cryptocurrency exchange. As we have seen, all these exchanges are shady by default and could collapse at any time, or someone could hack it and steal your data, and you could be doxed, your pic could be sold on the dark web because your pic holding an ID could be used by other people to try to verify themselves... it's a mess.
This is why I chose to stay as anonymous as possible. I just can't trust the exchanges, specially the altcoin exchanges.
0.025 is stunningly small. I guess it's only temporal until its up to 1 BTC again?
But Bittrex is so stupid lately. They now request all your real data even to trade crypto to crypto. Honestly fuck them.
