I've been intent on buying BitCoin, ether etc for a month and all I found was very dodgy Exchanges and invasive pseudo-security. This is more stifled than ever:
"The list of exchanges i made was as long as the time spent researching.
My system is to rate exchanges as good in blue, bad in red.
Nearly all the long list is RED."
