Bitcoin Forum

Everyone has an exchange that they feel is best for them. There are a few big players like bittrex and cryptsy, but there are others that are very good exchanges also.

I am interested in knowing which exchange everyone thinks is the best one to use. Whether its a big player like Bittrex or maybe one that may be overlooked.

As long as it is a legitimate exchange that is not fly by night. Please don't use this to promote scam exchanges. I created this topic to try to help people find exchanges that are here for the long run.

Please include why you like the exchange you list here. Things like how old the exchange is, how active and professional. things like that.

I will keep updating and listing the results as we go.


*UPDATE*

Bittrex, Allcoin, Poloniex, Cryptsy and Bter seem to be peoples choice in that order.

A few negative comments for Cryptsy and Bter so I put them at the end.

Askcoin was metioned but was a warning

Askcoin is clearly manipulating their trade history, I would be very wary of them.

Thanks. This is going to be a good topic. :)

It is hard to say which ones are the best, they are all a bit shady if you ask me. On that note, I have been using btce for litecoin due to them being the most liquid way to trade ltc. Bittrex and Cryptsy for most other alts because they seem to have the most volume on the other alt coins I like to trade. I would stay far away from bter after the whole bitbay scandal.

They're all junk

Can you explain? Do you feel they are all scams? I don't really know what you mean by that statement.

I don't trust any of them. Yes, I do feel like they're all scams.

A good piece of advice would be to never leave your coins on an exchange, not a single one is trustworthy. I've seen many people get screwed over by even the bigger names, especially cryptsy

This is the easiest question ever posted. The answer is... Cryptsy!

I figured that a lot of people would say cryptsy or bittrex. They are definitely the big players.  I would like to throw another one in the mix also.

I really like allcoin. They have been around for a while now . They seem to  stay on top of things. if you have an issue they always do what they can to fix it.

In my opinion allcoin is an exchange that should be used much more than it is.

always go for the most volume of the coin you're planning to trade:  http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/markets/info

I really like Allcoin for how they keep supporting coins that have lower volume for a while.

I would say is bter.

I use cryptsy most times but also think allcoin is a good exchange too. Both are very user friendly and easy to deposit and withdraw.

So far Cryptsy and Allcoin seem to be most popular.

Poloniex is my favorite exchange.
Bittrex is good too.

im use poloniex and cryptsy.. its best for me

Bittrex for me.

Poloniex is the one that always worked best for me.


I did some attempts with most of the other exchanges, but sooner or later I returned to Poloniex.

Prefer bittrex the most, fast and secure...

again, keep mind of the volume of the currency pair you're planning to trade.  i suggest using bittrex, bter, cryptsy and poloniex for altcoins.  this is crypto, it's easy to move funds around.  :)

agree , no problem use bittrex

Stay away from Cyrptsy.

Cryptsy is a good exchange, has lots of pairs and good volume. But their support sucks, you have to wait days or weeks for even simple questions. Many wallets are for weeks in maintenance.

I like Bleutrade (https://bleutrade.com/exchange/5150), hasn't the volume of Cryptsy but has also lots of pairs to trade, good support, autosell option and lower fees.

I generally use several exchanges. I do not prefer one of them. Each exchange has its own advantages and disadvantages. everyone must decide for themselves what is important for him.
I do not like, if trade history is cut after X trades and shows only a short period of the executed trades. BTER, swisscex, cryptsy for example.

Since few days there is a neu exchange we should to look at.
It is called CRYPTONIA https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/ (https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/)
The exchange is somehow special in some way. You can mine a lot of coins with your account and trade them directly. Also is there a marketplace on the website where you can sell your goods for coins. For my first view it makes a serious impression. And also the Chat Box is more as i've seen before and brings a lot of fun, in contrast to other sites.
If by the time the user volume increase and more people make their offers, set their positions and trade all what is tradable there, then the exchange should be an interesting alternative against all what is already out there.

Only time will tell. If crypyopia is still around in 6 months then maybe it may be a good exchange. :)

My favorites exchanges are Bittrex and Poloniex. Both sites have a good history, big volume, easy, and secure transaction.
Watch out for a new exchanger, from history many of them got hacked easily and unable to return their customer funds.

Allcoin, Bittrex, and Poloniex  seem to have the best response. Cryptsy has just as many haters as likers.

I like Allcoin better than Cryptsy too.

https://www.allcrypt.com/

for me, I think exchange is the best to use poloniex, bittrex, c-cex and bleutrade.
to all always worked best for me.

C-cex is good. Potentially the next big exchange.. tested the site recently and it works good

In this order, Poloniex, Bittrex, cryptsy, c-cex, bter.

I have used the first to with no problem for over a year, well little problems but customer service sorts them in a speedy fashion i am happy with them.

Bter is questionable imo aand i would be very weary of them  >:(

I prefer with bittrex and poloniex
I have used the first and no problem.

EXMO (https://exmo.com/?ref=74763) for LTC and DOGE

I definitely prefer to use bittrex as it is fast, reliable and has many coins.

i like c-cex
c-cex is good and it works good.

ABC

Any But Cryptsy

AHaha i told you to be weary of them ^^ ;D :D

Who lost coin not listening?  ::) >:( :D ;D :D

Bittrex is a nice exchange too with plenty of volume and bigger market

I choose Poloniex and Bittrex have a good service I think,
If I have problem they can solve quickly

I have been using around 5 to 6 altcoin exchanges.
My favorites are BitTrex, Cryptsy and HitBTC - in that order.

I have also used AllCrypt, Poloniex and a couple others, but my choice stays as stated above.

I use poloniex and bittrex
I think is the best exchange for me.
