Choosing an exchange during a bear market really requires careful consideration. Although there are many complaints about leading platforms, I still recommend focusing on a few relatively stable ones. Once an exchange encounters problems at this stage, it could be a disaster for everyone.

The situation in the overseas market is even more complicated. Many international platforms not only have cumbersome withdrawal processes but also impose various KYC requirements, with restrictions popping up all the time. The key point is that if something really goes wrong, besides complaining a few times, you basically have no say. In contrast, mainstream platforms have a relatively complete ecosystem, and even if there are issues, there are channels for discussion and feedback.

When choosing a platform in a bear market, stability and risk control capabilities should be the top priorities. Don't just look at transaction fees or marketing campaigns; account security and liquidity are the core concerns.

Really, when an exchange rug pulls, the whole street suffers. The KYC system of overseas platforms is really annoying; when something goes wrong, you're the only one left feeling aggrieved. In a bear market, those still calculating fees must be dumbfounded. Stability > everything, this time it sounds reasonable. At least you can complain about domestic platforms; over there, your voice is just too insignificant.

To be honest, I really can't stand the KYC process of those small overseas platforms; the arbitrage opportunities are all fragmented due to various restrictions... mainstream platforms are more reliable. In a bear market, one should be clear that gas fees can be saved but liquidity cannot be compromised. Looking at this round, stability > transaction fees; the difference is too large. Don't think that withdrawal delays are a small issue; they can really be life-threatening at critical moments... at least the top platforms have a transparent mempool. Comparing domestic and foreign platforms, having feedback channels is really a safety net. To put it bluntly, the risk control strategies of small exchanges cannot keep up, and they can't guard against the risks of flash loans.

Still want to save on fees during a bear market? Give me a break, focus on survival first. --- That KYC process on international platforms is really annoying. It's better to stay with the top ones. --- If an exchange really crashes, you'll suffer huge losses. You have to compromise on stability. --- When choosing a platform, pick one you can actually talk to. Complaining alone won't solve anything when problems arise. --- Risk control ability > fees. How come some people still don't understand this? --- Withdrawing is difficult and restricted on many small overseas platforms. I really don't dare to touch them. --- During a bear market, stick close to the big players. Don't gamble on the luck of small platforms.

It's not wrong to say that, but when it comes to critical moments, no one can be relied upon... I only realized this after being scammed. Top-tier platforms are indeed stable, but I'm already tired of their fee schemes. International platforms are truly a nightmare, with repeated KYC verifications and withdrawal delays. During a bear market, you should find a place where you can sleep peacefully and not be fooled by marketing. That's right, stability > everything. If you slip up during this period, it's over. But which one is truly stable now? It feels like they're all just squeezing toothpaste. Fund security is the key; those few dollars in fees are really not a big deal.

In the past two years, many small platforms have run away. Now I really need to be honest; I won't touch any small exchanges even if they are cheaper. The KYC process is really outrageous. Some overseas platforms directly freeze accounts, and you can't even react in time. During a bear market, you have to hide on large platforms. Even if the fees are higher, I accept it. At least I don't have to worry about fund black holes. That's right. Those rebate activities are all fake. Life is more important. Overseas platforms are really risky. When something happens, you're left to stew in your own frustration, and no one cares. Stability should come first. I can't afford to mess around at this time. The high profits from small platforms are no longer tempting; I've learned my lesson too deeply.
