This is the perfect opportunity to introduce you to a new ICO that is going to be coming out early next year. A way to stabilize the market and provide security. Introducing  God.coin... a cryptocurrency that is unlike the rest and backed by real assets.  Check out the details in this steemit article https://steemit.com/godcoin/@prime-cleric/god-coin

There is/will be a learning curve before something like this happens on a broad scale. Mass adoption comes with mass ignorance, and those unfamiliar with the technology drag with them what they know and are familiar with, which is centralized. 

Providing options/examples of any known decentralized exchanges is valuable, obviously coming with any appropriate caveats. I will read the comments in hopes of finding a lead. 

I'm in the process of overcoming my own ignorance on the crypto world.

Edited to add: A perfect example of my own damn ignorance, I ticked the upvote post when I made this comment, I only just discovered it today, first time trying to use it, and I thought it would upvote this post, not my comment. When I didn't see the post upvoted, I realized it must have upvoted my comment. Um, yeah, another lesson learned. ~sigh

This is so true. And rather obvious: one would think with so many coins and ideas being brought into the scene, one of them would involve a decentralized exchange.

yes you are right and we can help eachothers by doing well 
So i do just discovered it now days just 5 days and i'm still don't know how will work im just writing share and upvotes poepole and also i follow them so could you do supporte me how could i work at steemit

I urge users to share their links more on Reddit in the relevant subreddits. Some of them may have weird names on Reddit, but many are similar to the tags we use here as well. I will be regularly checking on posts through the domain link above that get some good attention and views from Reddit to curate them more fairly on Steemit.

Best part about this is that you will also increase your engagement to your posts both from comments here and on Reddit.

Steemit activity has been increasing steadily lately. With coinmarketcap at a ridiculous traffic rank of  already and the Steem currency hovering around rank  it brings a lot of attention to our platform. Steemit Traffic stats show that it's at the rank  right now and rising. Google trends can also confirm this with this chart over the last  
 and also we can do great steemit as people said by steemit by reply upvotes  and others said as 
I think we should work on user retention levels first. As new accounts are being made everyday but most of the new users leave the platform within a month. This is really alarming.

If we are able to retain new users then they will tell 10's of their friends about the platform and the community will automatically grow. And everybody knows that word of mouth is the most powerful. But if new users are leaving the platform, there is a huge possibility that they may spread negativity about the platform.

Why new user leave after a few days is a completely different question. There are a huge lot of different reasons for that, but the biggest is that posts by minnows are not getting any audience, even if they write some good posts.

I wrote a complete post about this topic, and if anyone is interested, they may go to my profile and read my most recent post. I didn't include the link here as then people would think that i am spamming. Thank you for

Well i think now with the so much the market has flow and volatility.All exchanger had stop giving  cash out and they are waiting for the small or big drop
Like if some one send sbd  and want to exchange to dollars  yesterday worth 15$  they don't alow them to exchange or give back to cash   maybe when it falls down they will alow so they might exchange secretly

Thank you @crypto very much for informing us to be careful with all the centralize exchanger....I am so glad to get the news from you and I will share it to my friends also.

The issue is, that even though most people assume they are aware of the risks, they too often assume they are the ones being able to recognize all the dangers.

"I'm not in danger, I'm using only this one service which I used for four months already and had zero issues, so I'm sure it is perfectly safe..."

Some then assume they are so poor crypto-wise they do not need to worry yet, but I could imagine a scenario in which a currency suddenly increases in price, going to the moon.. and then a random trading site goes rogue and steals everything from accounts of the users.

It's always too late to react when the worst has happened.

Congratulations @acidyo!
Your post was mentioned in the [hit parade](https://steemit.com/hit-parade/@arcange/daily-hit-parade-20171210) in the following category:

* Pending payout - Ranked 10 with $ 213,79

Very encouraging and inspiring. It's never too late to start.

Security should be number one priority. I have friend who lost some funds. I use Bittrex and so far everything is working fine, but lost a lot of my mind when I used Poloniex. Tnx for sharing about Bitshares Open Ledger. I will check it out.

It sounds exciting the prospect of a lot of volume and SMTs on the internal market. The decentralized exchanges I feel are not there yet in terms of user friendliness but I'm sure they will make a lot of progress as time goes on.

Really great and informative post, especially with the volatility of DEX it's good to have a hardware back-up or a paper wallet back-up and only access your cryptos' when you need to trade and not just leave everything on the DEX.
Looking forward to more posts such as this, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the INFO

Could not agree with you more. We do not have any 100% reliable/trusted exchanges at the moment. This needs to change.

Thanks for sharing.

Agreed !
Not if you sure if you guys have heard about this Incredible new one called IDEX. I just did an Article on yesterday :

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@cryptosignz/aurora-ecosystem-the-first-fully-dencentralized-crypto-bank-w-live-real-time-exchange-idex

Decetralized exchanges will be the future of crypto market. Other important things: atomic swaps, privacy coins, third generation crypto currencies (IOTA), lightning network. I hope, this features become very  important soon.

I am using Bisq decentralized crypto exchange for the past 2 month and I like it. I also got me a Ledger Nano S hardware wallet 3 moth ago which I like  very much I just leave a bit of my BTC on Bittrex and Kraken to trade in other coins. So excited for SMT's  on steem :-)

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I've been getting really nervous with selling my Steem/SBD's for Christmas gifts and my girlfriend engagement ring because of shit like this happening so often. I've seen a lot of people having issues with Bittrex on twitter, just hoping that nothing happens to me over the next few weeks at this point. (Though, Bittrex already kind of screwed with me 2 months ago when they disabled my account for no reason and made me do three different verification attempts. Fun times.)

I really wish decentralized exchanges *would* take off a little more... there seems to be some good options "on the surface," but they also seem to lack the liquidity and range of the likes of Poloniex, Bittrex, etc. 

I am not sure WHAT can be done to make the decentralized option more "visible," and I also have to wonder if there-- ultimately-- is a trust issue there. Much as we are all busy trading decentralized currencies, when it comes to trading, do wee require (psychologically) a "someone" to be in charge? I don't *know* so really just throwing another question out there.
