Topic: Would you still do business with them? - page 4. (Read 624 times)
If the traders are not affected due to the bankruptcy and they can able to withdraw whatever they hold in their exchange wallet then it makes them to be legitimate so definitely theit customers will be loyal to them when they get back into the business again. I am not sure it happened with any crypto exchange before but when we look at some of the companies with loyal customer support able to become leaders of that sector even after went to bankrupt status.
I know that bittrex plays a role for the history of the crypto market as they're one of the biggest exchange before Binance became one. But, I wouldn't step any on their territories when they come back to business. Just no for me and I wouldn't even think twice with that.
Even if they'll comeback with such good offers and promotions, that wouldn't enticed me of using them and that's even going to give me the thought that they're trying hard for it but still, not gonna push me into using them back.
Bittrex was once among the top crypto exchanges with high regards in its security, so I think it’s still reasonable to do business with them and trust my funds again into their exchange. However, maybe this time I will be more cautious not to put all my funds to them so that if this scenario will repeat, then I won’t have to deal with regrets from losing huge amount.Even if they'll comeback with such good offers and promotions, that wouldn't enticed me of using them and that's even going to give me the thought that they're trying hard for it but still, not gonna push me into using them back.
But just for the sake of avoiding these things, it's better to just avoid them and let the storm calms first before going on with any amount and start trading back there.
I know Bittrex was very stable way back then, but still it’s safer not to put all in.
Gone are the days when they're like that but until they settle everything and regain its past status or maybe not anymore, we're all free to think what we should do with our funds with or without them. 
I like that they raise the alarm themselves, they try to be transparent as possible and it works, but I am confused how a successful crypto exchange can just filed up for bankruptcy like that, exchange business is a very lucrative one, what the hell went wrong? How are they not in profits?
There is another possibility, maybe the exchange have something to hide? They might plan to come out in the open to avoid letting the cats out, I would say let's wait for a while before believing this exchange, they might have something they are hiding after all.
I use Bittrex years back and I still have a working account on the exchange but I don't like the exchange, I pick Binance over them but Bittrex is a good reliable centralized exchange, I am glad they decide to pay their customers even after the bankruptcy.

When a company or exchange goes bankrupt, no one can trust that company or exchange anymore. We have seen FTX go bankrupt and mismanagement of funds drew attention in this case as well.People don't want to do business with centralized exchanges now because centralized systems have lost their trust. Even after that if companies come back in business I will never patronize them.Bittrex has separate US and global exchange platforms. Many believe it is the US exchange that is filing for bankruptcy, not the global exchange. All the time we notice these news that centralized exchanges may declare bankruptcy. So no one wants to trust centralized exchanges.
Why not? Trust only expired the moment they decided not to pay their users and since this is not the case I will gladly use another exchange from the same set of Bittrex team and founder, something must have gone wrong with their funds.
I feel there is more to it than we know but it's their decision if they want users to know more about what really went wrong, even Binance exchange which is the most successful one in 2021 have now lost a lot of money, the bear market doesn't have any fear for anyone it seems, even third party investment companies are all down in profit due to crypto bear market.
I use decentralized exchanges more than CEX now because of what happened with FTX last year and the reason why I still use CEX is because of easy Fiat to crypto ability that CEX offers, if one day a DEX find a way to do this then I will consider leaving CEX for good.

I would still trust them because they allow users to withdraw all of their funds. According to the quoted text above, they did not defraud individuals and instead declared bankruptcy. But it doesn't mean I won't utilize their service again if Bittrex goes out of business. This type of occurrence will not occur on a regular basis, so it would be prudent to use other top-tier exchanges such as Binance. However, I believe Bittrex will not be able to run again in the future because they knew it would fail. It would be preferable to create a new exchange site to attract more users.

No. I'm done with centralized crypto exchanges and I won't be using a centralized crypto exchange(unless I have no other choice).
Respect for Bittrex for staying legit and paying all the funds to their customers. I guess that they weren't some exit scam and they didn't have any insolvency, which means that they simply weren't making enough money from trading fees. The centralized crypto exchange market niche got too crowded, because the trading volumes went down and many people stopped using centralized exchanges. It's normal for some crypto companies to leave the market, since they don't make enough money to cover their operational costs.

The most of the centralised exchanges are facing the same issue but the thing is they themselves are not losing anything even if they file for bankruptcy but users funds are confiscated with it and marked as loss so if you trust them again it's your mistake.The market crash or general reasons can be treated separately but they are going down because of internal operations or any other reasons even it's US exchange only so the people are at loss in the end.
Can't really answer that question without having enough information.
* Why did they go bust in the first place?
* Is the CEO/leadership team a new team, or a different one?
* Is there a specific reason on why I should go back into using the exchange?
* etc.

Bittrex informed her customers to withdraw their funds before April 30th and even those who didn't would still be able to get their funds back in full.
April 30 of which year this year or next year?
For the platform to go bankrupt means to file for bankruptcy according to Chapter 11 of the US Companies Law https://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-basics/chapter-11-bankruptcy-basics , something that did not happen in Bittrex case.
Bittrex US (not Bittrex Global) is the one who stopped working, in which SEC does a lot of work to dry up crypto exchanges and therefore closing the .US is logical.
we ignore COVID-19, the cost of living, price fluctuations, inflation rates and the difficulty in obtaining loans effect.
Unlike FTX, Bittrex informed her customers to withdraw their funds before April 30th and even those who didn't would still be able to get their funds back in full.
It is Bittrex US. not Bittrex Global which will continue to provide their exchange service for global users who are not from the USA.About Bittrex exchange, they have interesting history in 2017 when they took over a first position from Poloniex. Poloniex used to be a very big exchange but they failed to prepare and expand their infrastructures for 2017 bull market. When massive demands from new users came, their platform was overloaded and broken. That caused losses on their users who use Margin trading.
Bittrex took that opportunity and became a biggest exchange in 2017 but they failed to scam ICO tokens. They did not learn from Poloniex and lost their position to Binance very easily within a few months.
They made their history worse in many people when they forced users to do KYC. Many people failed with KYC on Bittrex and were unable to withdraw money out of Bittrex.
Bittrex - source of funds. They did bad things in 2019 and 2020 on many customers.
of course i will still do business with them, the issue about KYC and being a centralized exchange only applies is only risky for me if i were doing some shady things which i refuse others to know. aside from that, the company is trusted and operates diligently. i was even using bittrex way back 2018 to do transactions since there are wide variety of coins i can choose from and it is much easier to transfer coins from my wallet to that exchange compared to other exchanges existed today. it is just sad to hear that bittrex slowly fall out of the competition, but regardless i was still happy doing transactions back then.

Although the Bittrex exchange inform their customers about withdrawing their funds but there's something wrong with the mode of operation of some centralized exchange because they appear to be playing with user's funds because the Bittrex exchange filed for bankruptcy after the US SEC look into exchange services in the foreign affiliate and Bittrex Global after they failed to register as a national securities exchange and the next thing is that they filed for bankruptcy.
On May 8th the crypto community was greeted with the news that Cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex filed for bankruptcy. It was one of the biggest crypto exchanges to exist before Binance. It joins other crypto exchanges like FTX, platforms Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, Three Arrows Capital and BlockFi that filed for bankruptcy in 2022. Unlike FTX, Bittrex informed her customers to withdraw their funds before April 30th and even those who didn't would still be able to get their funds back in full.
I know that many other centralized exchanges may declare bankruptcy - but let's ignore this for a moment and assume that these companies gets back in business would you patronize them? Would you still do business with them? I know the whole talk of move your bitcoin off centralized exchanges but we cannot denial the fact they that they still play an important role in the crypto community.

Whenever a a centralized platform filed up for bankruptcy then as a user or client who had been using up their platform and have funds inside the exchange then dont expect that everything would go smooth.Quote
In April, Bittrex told its U.S. customers to withdraw their funds by Apr. 30, when the company shut down its operations, according to its website. For customers who didn’t withdraw by the end of last month, Bittrex said on Apr. 8 that their funds "remain safe and secure” and that its top priority is to ensure that they are made whole.

If ever they would be giving out some ample time to make withdrawals then its a good one rather than on making yourself on the situation just like with those Mt.Gox funds that had been pending for how many years.
I wasnt aware if those Bittrex funds been holding have totally given out into their users or there are some pending issues but basing up on my awareness they arent really that having that much issue in regarding to it,
unlike into those people who get stucked with FTX.
In speaking about trusting them once again then i would definitely 100% be skipping out, if ever they would be deciding to have some restarting of their business. I cant just afford on trusting
again on a company which does have filed up some bankruptcy in the past and now they are trying out to run the business again just like that there's nothing happened? lol
It's important to stay informed: Bittrex has had separate US and Global exchange platforms for over two years now. It's the US exchange that is claiming bankruptcy, not the Global exchange. Many believe that the US government's unfavorable stance towards cryptocurrency may hinder its potential for growth, causing the country to miss out on the tax revenue and other benefits the industry could offer in the future. If this continues, there's a possibility that the US may try to retaliate when they see other countries profiting from the cryptocurrency space.
This is the important part!
OP is talking like bittrex, one of the biggest exchanges is going bankrupt but it's not. Bittrex US was having problems for months and the Biden administration and the SEC was slowly suffocating it.
The result of this war will be the exodus of all but the most centralized and obedient exchanges from the US and US citizens will have to trade using exchanges in other countries.
Good thing is that there are 2 presidential candidates who like bitcoin and I doubt people are going to vote for senile Biden once again, so chances are in a few years the president will be a bitcoiner.

Don't know about anyone else here, but personally I was pleased to here this news. It's long overdue based on Bittrex's reputation over the years that has been steadily declining. It was indeed one of the largest exchanges when altcoins were booming in 2017, as was one of the few exchanges offering hundreds of different shitcoins, whereas as now there are literally hundreds of exchanges doing this.
Ultimately the interface was always archaic, nobody liked going there in order to buy a shitcoin anyway - it was more of a "needs must" as the first exchange for many new coins if you wanted to get in early - and otherwise went from a Top 10 exchange so not even in the Top 50, eventually replaced by the likes of Binance, Kraken, OKX, Bitfinex, Huobi, literally every other major exchange, even Coinbase.
I'm otherwise far from surprised they can't manage their books based on their reputation. Even with $10m+ volume per day they still couldn't stay in business and turn profit.. It's pathetic really.
Actually they were kind enough to tell people to withdraw their funds from the exchange but this goes to still repeat that it’s very risky to leave your funds on exchange, sad to see an exchange filling for bankruptcy but what’s the reason for bankruptcy going by the way FTX went bankrupt and the mismanagement of funds it draws attention also to this case.
I would not Trust and do business anymore with a crypto-currency exchange that has gone bankrupt, I won’t do business with a centralized exchange because I don’t believe in the centralized system.
At least they were responsible enough to return the funds that were actually not their ownership. Still thankful for that. However, if they will operate again, I would not dare to put my funds again in their exchange because I already know that there are no security with centralized exchanges. Although they can be trusting at first, but it’s risky to think that we should always be alert to withdraw our funds in case the exchange will be put into danger again. I would rather create my own hardware wallet that is more secured and free from online scams. I would not Trust and do business anymore with a crypto-currency exchange that has gone bankrupt, I won’t do business with a centralized exchange because I don’t believe in the centralized system.

I am not a customer of Bittrex, but Ofcus' customers will definitely still do business with them if they come back because they have served their customers well by asking them to withdraw their assets before they can officially short down. Most exchanges have failed, and not all were able to ask users to withdraw their assets before going down.
