Hey guys im thinking about creating a bittrex account. So if i do not have a verified account, how many bitcoin or altcoins can i send to my account to switch for bitcoin or another altcoin like ETH? I assume back then you could do up to 3btc in trades per day whether btc to ETH or vice versa? But now its max 0.025 btc? Can someone confirm this is what is meant by it?
None if your account was set up after 1st August 2017. They want all new users to be verified and won't allow withdrawals if you are not.
I suggest you go instead to HitBTC - they don't require verification as long as you don't trade fiat and are trading cryptocurrencies only.
hi there. Are the rates pretty good at Hitbtc? Okay so if you are trading crytocurrencies there, you do need to create an account right? And if you do, i assume you need an email? Do you also need to put your real name or is that not required?
Im also curious but say you trade bitcoin for waves or ETH. I use shapeshift to do these trades and i noticed i lost a lot of money doing this. Like it cost me 250 dollars to trade a total of 5k worth of btc with another coin etc. So i assume hitbtc gives a much better rate similar to bittrex?
What do you mean they won't allow withdraws? You mean trading crytopcurrency to crytocurrency or withdrawing to bank account etc?
Depends on whom you fear most: the gubment finding out you keep some savings in crypto (Bittrex theoretically) or an anonymous shell which claims to be EU based but nobody really knows (HITbtc)
Increasing mainstream adoption and a growing market cap mean that these exchanges will have to comply with financial rules or be shut down. Bittrex is at least making a move towards making itself legit. I understand why people in this topic don't like this but it is the price of adoption.
Increasing mainstream adoption means your bitcoin is now worth 4000$, it also means you can no longer move large amounts of money around the internet with no questions asked. One or the other.
We've all seen what just happened with BTC-E. And trust me it is probably only the beginning.
I personally would choose to just comply with Bittrex' KYC demand rather than moving my coins into an exchange which has less or no regulation compliance and find my coins 'hacked' or confiscated the next day.
We are not in Kansas anymore.
