HitBTC has always been somewhat of a shitcoin exchange. I have been seeing complaints pop up about them since the very beginning, and it has only become worse. Every exchange finding it necessary to list shitcoins, allow forks to be traded, etc, are all slowly poisoning this ecosystem. Blatant scam forks shouldn't be granted a plarform they can be sold on, which only gives them more incentive to jump into their next fork project. This market needs quality instead of quantity, but these exchanges don't seem to understand that, or just don't care about it due to their greed. I personally hint at the latter option looking at their way of doing business. Pathetic.
These exchanges act out on what the majority of their users want, that is shitcoin and shitforks. If the exchanges aren't loyal to their own users,they'll find another exchange. HitBTC has reached to the top by listening all these ICO shitcoins and their majority of the users love this exchange for that. Yeah,at one point all of us went after poloniex and bittrex,as they were both amazing at a point of time,but not anymore. While bittrex and poloniex screwed their reputation over,HitBTC meanwhile concentrated on making their exchange a major one,and they succeeded pretty well. They have managed to keep their rep way above the line even after listing these shitcoins and granting them the fork shitcoins. Only a few users hate this exchange while the majority love them. They are sort of doing the right thing as an exchange by listing every single coin/fork,so that users can exchange it,even if the coin is a scam/ponzi,the users might be able to get something out of it.
