If you are in the USA coinbase is better probably
Read my reply above coinbase is not allowed where I live, nor would I trust them with my money.
I think you need to choose the exchange by yourself because you can get two possibilities for choosing bitstamp, yes or no. You need to know that how you feel when you trade on bitstamp, is it comfort or not. Then you can choose with a right. Don't just follow the recommendation from us but you need to feel by yourself.
The point in my opinion is not to register with every single exchange and do KYC with all of them only to experience how it feels to trade there in order to make my mind. As there are already people who traded before me and will in future I guess it is better to learn from others and get their opinions about the situation than to test everything myself.
Here is some other information about withdrawal and deposit fees below.
Read above, I have already linked their fee structure

A lot of Europeans citizens are using Kraken and it works like a charm. Bitstamp is good as well but Kraken is faster with banking transactions. You can receive your payment withdraw within a few hours sometimes. Bitstamp is faster when it's about to verify your account with your ID.
I might look at kraken yeah they are still pretty old exchange as well.

Yeah anyways still in that "grey zone" undecided now should I go with any major exchange or use LBC well I guess will read more about before making my mind....
Thanks all for your replies!
The major problem I started to see is that I will have to tell from where did I get my funds such as fiat and crypto as it is an extra hustle going back and forth with support etc...
