I'll give that a shot. I was reluctant because I saw a message on their site that said contacting about a ticket will move it to the end of the queue. But at this point, what do I have to lose?

I have a friend who recommended Gemini - any pros or cons from veteran crypto exchange folks on them? They seem OK - similar to Coinbase.

It was Binance.us. I've read some really bad reviews about their customer service... I feel like Binance.com isn't afflicted with the same issues.

I'm looking for an exchange with:

• Low fees
• Strong security
• Large list of cryptos
• Efficient verification processes

I joined Binance, but the verification process has taken weeks, and I've missed out on this latest surge in value, so I'm pretty pissed and want to find another exchange. Thanks in advance.

I had the same thought. I figured that Ripple would actually benefit from being centralized and used by financial institutions, but instead they got targeted.

Reading about the suit, it sounds like the SEC is targeting them on the basis of XRP representing an investment contract. I suppose a centralized exchange like Ripple made it easier for them to pursue legal action. I'll be curious to see how this plays out and what the implications are for the crypto industry. I imagine more scrutiny and legislation will be coming in the following years.
