- Nice interface.
- Regulated exchange.
- Higher side fees.
- Verification takes long.

Overview: Though it is an easy to use platform and might not be the worst if you've trading in small amounts where the fee percentage doesn't hit that hard for people who trade with a bit more volume it can make a dent on the profit made.

Good exchange - and they are one of the oldest ones. The verification took some time and they don't really offer a lot of coins. But they are secure and trusted as I know

interesting platform, tries too hard to be coinbase but if it focuses on its actual strengths it'll definitely pop off!

After Kraken the best choice. Easy-to-use interface and the seat of this stock exchange is (regulated) in Luxembourg. Unfortunately only a small selection of coins.

Nach Kraken die beste Wahl. Einfach zu bedienende Oberfläche und der Sitz dieser Börse ist in Luxemburg (reguliert). Leider nur eine kleine Auswahl an Coins.

Bitstamp has been my major go-to-marketplace in the past and has so far been very reliable for me. However, they only support a very limited number of cryptos and overall the platform feels a little bit dated nowadays (also if you compare the web platform to Bitstamp's own app)...
