I'm comfortable with the security of Coinbase and Poloniex who both keep most funds offline. Coinbase has member's money insured even if they went under through a group called Lloyds of London.
I also enjoy BTCPOP.co for peer-to-peer lending which has good security. They brag that they haven't lost 1 Saotoshi that wasn't a user's own fault (sending to an incorrect address etc).
Do you purchase through GDAX (Coinbase) exchange? If you're feeling screwed because of purchase prices you can save money by transferring into GDAX instead of purchasing crypto through the Coinbase interface.
@diverse right on... gdax gives the better exchange. But, I buy ltc on gdax and then transfer it to steem with little costs... Gdax has the feds approval so that make me less nervous. I even think it is fdic. I could be wrong.
Damn you can transfer ltc to steem? Hmm
Absolutely, in steemit, add steem. Hit the option to send ltc. It will give your address. Go to gdax and withdrawal to a ltc address and presto....
I think LTC is one of the more stable coins. I can see it back to over $99 very soon. Ty
Yes, I know about GDAX no fee. My neighbors have been using that system tied to there bank and having major profit losing buys, delays.
