I'd be pretty reluctant to use it myself, but I think it'll be ticking away in a quiet corner of the market long after many of the present players have turned to dust.

I really want to use BTC-e.com, but the first fund I wired to the exchange was lost. I wire transfer USD $4500 to BTC-E.com back in 1/5/2015. My bank has confirmed that the fund was deposited to the Mayzus Financial Service Limited. I open a BTC-e.com ticket (#UHV-108-63758) but the customer service in BTC-E.com insisted that the fund was not received. "Banks will continue talk" it said. Well, I don't know how long will it take....

No. Using an intermediary is smart, a) they can change it easier b) they don't have to do AML/KYC themselves, the financial provider does it indepentently, so btc-e does not store your personal info, the intermediary on the other hand is not a bitcoin exchange so it will not get hacked so your info is safer.

Look at other exchanges, their banks pressure them or close their accounts.

Also their fees are not high, Nrcewker, other exchanges are much more expensive than 0.2%

"CoinDesk has learned that BTC-e does not use a bank account with a company name, instead choosing to use a third party to provide banking services."

This itself sounds fishy and I don't feel it is a reliable way and does not have a good future. I would not use it for exchange.

I've heard that it's been a fairly reliable exchange, but the operators are anonymous. So if they disappear, don't expect to see your bitcoins again that were stored there. It seems that BTC-e is one of the few exchanges that offers PayPal withdraws though, but they offer it with hefty fees.

It's not like the person(s) running the exchange being known will keep your coins safe either. Take gox and Karpales for example.

I think it's odd that most Bitcoin exchange sites end up getting shut down for one reason or another, but BTC-e, the one that seems the least reliable and has owners that have remained anonymous, has been the site that has outlasted all the others. What do you think about BTC-e? Who do you think runs it?

"This lack of transparency has created confusion over who exactly is behind the exchange – the owners apparently wish to remain anonymous, using a long chain of banks and intermediaries to process deposits and withdrawals."

I think it's possible that BTC-e is run by the Russian government.

i can say that it is one of the exchanger with great volume
owner is anonimous and everything is pretty suspicious
good thing is everything went smoothly till today
bad thing, once they unplugged the line than its game over for everyone

It is the best site to trade Bitcoin on well imo that is where i feel safest trading and kind of at home, i really do not mind who runs it they do a good job who ever it is and as they stay anonymous the only time they shut down is if they run!

They have plenty of chance to do that everyday and could have when the price was higher with alot more to gain but still remain strong.

Well done BTC-E  Cool

It'll probably get taken down eventually. I'm surprised it hasn't already disappeared for whatever reasons though.

built on nothing, and high fees

that is my impression to btc-e, just if they cut the lines, you can't find them, and your money

I think it's possible that BTC-e is run by a government either as an experiment in hopes of achieving something larger out of it or because their own economy is struggling and they are looking for a way to positively effect their economy. Maybe it isn't BTC-e but I think there are governments involved with Bitcoin.
