In my post this time listed the best 2 Best Bitcoin / Crypto (My Choices). It would be hard to find a safe crypto exchange, so I have listed the 2 BEST exchanger. [Warning: I don't responsible for any lost of your money,you can choose a trusted site you want] Just 2 for now I want to share,maybe another post

 You should consider a number of parameters to judge and find out the
best Bitcoin/cryptocurrency exchange: 

  • How safe is the website and server? Secure exchanges are better. 
  • High liquidity. 
  • Transaction fee structure of the exchange like fixed fees, percentage
    fees and spread.
  • Whether exchange provides transparent data of coins transactions, prices,
    and volumes?
  • How many and which currency pairs are available to trade Bitcoin, for
    example USD, Euros, and other fiat /government issued currencies, or
    Altcoins?
  • Multiple options to buy Bitcoin like PayPal, credit card, etc.
  • Are customers happy?
  • Beginner-friendliness.
  • Good user ratings.

1.Coinbase

 Many of these services and facilities are not offered by the other cryptocurrency exchanges. 

Pros:

  • High liquidity for the users.
  • Easy process to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
  • Instant purchase available with your credit card as backup.
  • Integrated debit and credit cards.
  • Newbie friendly.
  • It is well integrated into the US banking system.

  • Easier to use than Kraken.

Cons:

  • Limited payment methods as compared to other cryptocurrency exchanges.
  • Possibilities of manipulation, as Coinbase may track how you spend or use Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
  • Verification causes delay and hassles, which are against the spirit of cryptocurrencies, e.g., ease of transactions and anonymity.
  • Incidents of malfunctioning of Coinbase system/platform.
  • It supports only a few currencies like USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, SGD, and AUD.
  • Limits imposed on transactions like daily limits, payment method limits, etc.
  • Coinbase does not offer margin trading, futures and derivatives trading, or short selling.
  • The personal data collected by Coinbase, may be misused. There have been allegation of major privacy violations against Coinbase in the past.
  • Some of the users complain of glitches in the website.
  • IRS may be looking into Coinbase users’ activities.

 All said and done, Coinbase faces the issues related to cryptocurrencies in general like legal issues, regulatory compliance, lack of government recognition, etc. Any systemic issue affecting cryptocurrencies would equally affect Coinbase also. The specter of government clamp down still looms large on the cryptocurrencies including Coinbase.Yet, Coinbase remains one of the best cryptocurrency exchanges with many advantages over its peers. It is good for users on the basis of various criteria. 


2.Changelly

  •  Changelly charges 0.5% per trade. 
  •  All that’s required to exchange coins is an email address. 
  •  Your exchange is usually processed and converted within 5-30 minutes 
  •  Changelly is a rather new company although there have been no incidents of issues.Since Changelly only holds your money for a very short period, it’s likely that users would alert the community if Changelly were to be acting malicious. 
  •  Changelly offers support via email at [email protected]
  •  Changelly accepts payments in nearly any cryptocurrency and you can receive payout in any other cryptocurrency.They also allow you to buy coins with credit card or debit card, but we do not recommend this since the rates for cards are very high. 

Changelly VS Shapeshift

 Both exchanges are very similar and work the same way. Changelly has slightly lower fees and higher limits. Shapeshift requires no information, while Changelly requires an email address for signup.We do not see a huge difference between the two and suggest users try both Changelly and Shapeshift to see which they prefer. 

Changelly have Steemit! 

Thats for now, BYE!

Yes, Thats my source

I would use Binance https://www.binance.com/?ref=12558281. In Binance 0.1% per order. If you purchase BNB tokens (directly from Binance) your trading fees is 0.05% per order while GDAX is 0.5%. Pretty much every other exchange charges above 0.4% in fees.

I always think of kucoin as one of the common exchange who always just plays in the middle with the not so good ones but since hype has been building around it for their 2.0 release plus they have been doing great lately, i might consider switching to them. (crypto.review/exchanges/kucoin/) Here's a review if anyone is not aware about kucoin.
