I have been hearing about various problems of traders with hitbtc exchange but not sure why devs keep listing their coins to them. After yobit.net, hitbtc had earned its bad name some long time itself. But, its trading volume nor new listing are not finding any disturbance due to those bad names. I am not sure how influence this major crypto community is.
In recent times. hitbtc suddenly removed docacademic from their listing and when I am going for the reasons, I just got shocked on their procedures to create fake volumes to attract investors. I guess it is an exchange , we must stay away from it.
If you have a bad experience about this exchange, you should leave and stay away, look for a better exchange and I'm sure you can find a more reputable exchange. I have not experience bad against hitbtc yet but I'll consider everyone's experience, I can still trust them but I should not fully put my trust.
In online, exchanges are vulnerable to hack, just recently cryptopia was hack and I wonder how the depositors would feel in relation to that.
