So early this morning, I logged onto check my crypto, only to be met by this....

It seems interesting that BITTREX state "At this time, with BIP 91 locked in, we are confident that the Bitcoin network will successfully activate and enforce BIP 91 blocks."

And that "In the event of a chain split, Bittrex will take all reasonable steps to ensure that customer funds can be preserved on both chains."

I am just glad I pulled all of my coins out of BTC wallet yesterday. Or maybe that was an error?

Time will tell

Sort:  

Coinbase has had a warning banner up for a few days stating that they will be freezing all BTC transactions in about a week. I gather Bittrex didn't offer any such warning?

No that I saw, and I was on it pretty much for the last 48 hours straight.

Bittrex just doesn't seem very upfront and honest from everything I have read.
