RE: Is Bittrex Safe From the U.S. Government - Should Read This Bitfinex announcement!
Bittrex is based in and fully regulated by USA. So if you are an American it is the safest place to be. Bitfinex is rejecting US customers b/c they have had a longstanding problem with US banking regulations, as many non-US based exchanges do. Can't say as I blame them. BTCe was shutdown due to supposed $$ laundering of its founder and his connexion to Mt Gox. Now whether US should have any jurisdiction there is another discussion!
have to say i agree. Nothing strange here, a foreign exchange not taking US based customers b/c of regulation issues. It would be naive to assume that w/more and more money sloshing around, in this space, the US would eventually want "their share" of tax revenue. After all we have debts to pay and wars to wage......
