Bittrex has changed their terms and conditions (be careful)!

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago (edited)

We usually (traders and investors) have a lot of things to pay attention to. The market in general, news, weather, politics, prices, charts and of course, the tools we use.

But what happens when these tools can cause us HUGE losses or go against us?

Sit thigh today we might be talking one of these situations, your host @neri0x.

The date?

This was released on bittrex forums on February 02, 2018 20:06.
The effective Date: March 9, 2018

Where?

< Bittrex suport >

Why is this important?


Thousands of users have suffered consequences of the actions or inactions of the exchanges where they have put their money and trust, the examples are many, MTGOX, Cryptsy, Bigrail, Coincheck and Bitfinex and even if the money (or a portion) was returned, the drama, the headaches, the consequences and of course the lessons were there.

The facts?

Time to act with caution! =)

It's the perfect moment to move to ::::::::::::>>> Binance??

Maybe a descentralized exchange would be a better option, only time will tell who made better choices, thanks for reading.

Excellent information @ neri0x every day the exchanges are more irresponsible and are protected against demands of any kind, it is important to know this information to assess where to invest our money, definitely bittrex is no longer an option, greetings !!!!!!

Thanks my friend. It still could be used but its important to be cautious and pay attention, basically protect your money.

Thats a good thing to know. Great blog post, informative. Upvoted!

Thanks my friend, i appreciate a lot your participation and time for reading!

Np. Weird that Steemit have been lagging lately. Had to do the upvoting again, it worked now.

Bring on the decentralised exchanges!

i havent tested bitshares but people say they are laggy, will have to try because decentralized means progress to me

We have to be very cautious where we put our money, since we are the ones who run the risk.

We have to be aware of this type of change, anything could change our game.

you are very experienced on this topic my friend :)

That's right, brother. While there are time and ways to prevent, we have to act and be careful
