Review on Bitstamp by Maximiliano Aquino
Bitstamp
Bitstamp is an exchange based in Slovenia and founded in 2011. Currently Bitstamp is considered one of the 20 exchanges in popularity, in it you can find seven currencies listed as BTC, ETH, LTC and other popular ones, in Bitstamp you can buy cryptocurrencies with fiduciary currency, in addition to being able to use the credit card. In terms of security, Bitstamp has had incidents with BTC theft, it was in 2015, where 5 million dollars in BTC, equivalent to more than 15,000 BTC were stolen from the exchange, since then Bitstamp has worked hard to become one of the safer exchanges, among its security practices are the cold storage of most assets, 2-factor verification and the use of a resource that keeps any information uploaded by its private users, so Bitstamp learned from the fact and gave the turn over.
Pros
