They are far from dead. 2019 will see massive growth in the exchange sector with many more exchanges comming to life. Wont be long before the mum and dads of society are using this exchanges.
Its not just that they are far from dead, now is maybe a great time to open one, you will be far from first exchange, but this is only a beginning, probably many countries and big towns dont have local exchanges.
Don't know where they do get those idea that exchangers are dead.Just looking on the list on CMC will already give you the glimpse on how big the market is when it comes to exchangers.
I think Crypto exchanges had some problems going on there that's why we are saying like this but Crypto exchanges still in the market so we cannot say anything negative for that if you die then we can say like that otherwise it will continuously running again and again.
Yes some exchange have an issues but not all . if an exhcange is verry popular their service is also good because people loves to use them . some exchange are now also died because no one uses them due to their poor service and bad coin listings .
But not all exchange can possibly be dead because if that happens then what do you think is the purpose of our cryptos if we cant exchange them for cash ? Cryptocurrency must die first before exchanges , so that it can make more sense .
