I have been a fan of binance as they are becoming more than a crypto exchange perhaps a complete crypto trading and support ecosystem they are also soon launching their state of the art dex they have already launched quality icos on their main platform they are also investing in many quality projects worldwide so binance is the most pro active project i have seen as an exchange.

Though Binance is the best crypto exchange, but I love Coinbase and Coinbase Pro. I think Trade exchange will be a new sensation in this year. Last year, they launched the exchange and from then to now, they are making new updates, developments and new features gradually. Tradeio ICO was ended in December 2017, so, it is a new exchange. In my personal top 10 favourite exchanges list, tradeio is a new name.

coinbase may be good but the choice of coins in exchange is still small. I use binance more because there are many choices of altcoins that I can trade there. the trading volume and security of the platform is quite good. so I don't need to worry about hacking problems that have recently happened a lot.

Idex for me when we are talking decentralized exchange.
Binance for centralized but I dont stay there for too long. It is scary. A lot of money is inside that exchange and a scam might happen anytime.
Yes, and it will be behind a reason of bankruptcy or they are hacked or something.
Be really careful with this.

If there are serious vulnerability issues about centralized exchanges then it ir meaningless to be careful from my experience. Dexs are safer but unfortunately, these type of exchanges are limited. Binance is best after Bittrex if we talk about overall experience. Crex24 and Cobinhood should be in top 5 list that marked by professional traders

Coinbase Pro? What is it? It's also the same as Coinbase or it's different or just a product of Coinbase team? Sorry but this is the first time I heard about Coinbase Pro. Until now, I still believe that Binance is the best cryptocurrency exchange because of its high trading volume and quality of cryptocurrencies listed on this exchange.

Totally true. Even if they have good reputation, still I don't want to take the risk of storing my coins in their exchange.
Better be safe than sorry, right?
Hacking or inside job is always possible in every exchange. People will always find a way to steal money.

And trading various coins is not limited only to those top 10 exchanges. Some coins can't be traded with them.
So it is really up to what coin you are holding, and which exchange would give you the best deal considering their fees, duration of txs, and others.

Majority is using Binance and I recently just got to register with xch4nge.
It is quite looking good exchange that I've registered with. They support few coins in the moment but they are very active with their customers.IDEX is also a good exchange that I've been using in time, not totally decentralized but there's a good volume behind it.

[HatakeKakashi]

Probably and I'll make sure to you the best cryptocurrency exchanges site for crypto trading for this year and the next few years  still no. 1 is the Binance because this crypto exchanges site have a lot of user and also a lot of coins has been listed and more new coins want to listed to binance because a lot of volumes of trading everyday happening in Binance and for sure people really see that. This is for me only and everyone have different think for best and by ranking exchanges.

[949miner]

I consider Binance the best cryptocurrency exchange platform. The platform has the easy and user friendly interface compared to other exchange platforms. Depositing and withdrawing your crypto coins on Binance is fast and easy to do so. You don't really need to verify or pass kyc before you can withdraw your coins. For me, I wished all crypto coins will be listed on Binance.

[Razerglass]

For a current situation, Binance and Bitmex can cover the trading needs but alternative exchanges should take this competition seriously. After analyzing the fees,Binance beats others in both terms of price and time. Do you have any suggestions regarding the exchanges that it is possible to convert crypto to fiat or another way around?

[mamesso]

The best binance exchange at the moment, big volume and provide daily profits for me.
I give an example, BTT at binance has given me a big advantage.

[gidaahmad]

Binance is my first priority. Because with large volumes and various coins, I can do comfortable trading activities. And they have several types of orders that can be used for my money security. Stop-loss.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I would give my vote of confidence to Bitmex and Coinbase, the others have a very good reputation, but you should seek protection for your operations, in the case of Bitmex a somewhat strange arbitration, but the one that when you operate you will be able to understand it, what if I defend Bitmex is that you can place your Stop Loss and Take Profit in the operation, the other Exchanges do not, and Coinbase because it is an Exchange that accepts Euro.

[ansarose1]

I have been on binance, a great exchange and much volume for trading. And i have not tried yet coinbase, maybe next time i would. I hope that in the future so many trading sites and exchanges that are convinient to the crypto enthusiast to trade and sell their altcoins.

[wayaneka]

If we see it from the regulation, in my opinion Liquid is good exchange because has fully regulation in Japan and they provide No trading fees for base currency pairs. But from the daily trading volume the best exchange will be Binance. Binance should be add OCO order so all trader possible to use stop loss and take profit at the sametimes and add more stable coin pairs. Other exchange that the quality increase is Gate.io because they provide spot trading and margin trading in one platform.

[Bostraticus]

I use Binance and recently began to use ChangeNOW, where I do not register, exchanging coins. I used Bittrex earlier, but they blocked my account for a while and I turned away from them.

[fvb]

Personally, I liked Binance.  There have been no complications with HitBtc yet.  I try not to keep assets on exchanges.  I deliver, exchange and withdraw to wallets.
