To be clear, I want to be able to exchange ETH for BTC on August 1st.
Gdax states no withdrawls or deposits, and potentially suspend trading. What about using shapeshift or polo to do exchanges? If there is a big delay is the rate at time of execution guaranteed? I am willing put a few coins in more than 1 exchange to increase my chances of success. I'm hoping for a dip in BTC and bump in ETH and then BTC settles at a higher value after a few days.
There has been many dips in the last week, up/down by several hundred $$. There has been some good opportunity to buy cheap imo already.
Unfortunately I think there is any market that will trade btc on August 1st.
Have you thought about setting some orders before this date in which you predict what will happen to the value when the markets open? (need lots of luck there)
Personally I will lock up all of my btc & alts for the first week of August and forget about trading, although I admit it will be very tempting to the opposite.
Yes I want to put in some limit orders now, but not sure which platform will be working. Most say they will shutdown withdrawal and deposit, but not sure about trades or exchanges. Ideally I'd do it with a USD wallet and pick up some BTC, but will also enter some orders on other Alts.
