Great advice @acidyo. I'm very new to trading myself and wasn't aware of the Mt Gox thing in 2014 but until such time as we can increase the demand for buying and selling in crypto in the real world or we do find some way of exchanging in a decentralised way, we are always going to be at the mercy of others and with the withdrawal restrictions implemented by Bittrex in the UK at least, having your funds sitting on a centralised exchange is a risky investment in itself. Keep your coins in your wallets guys. :)
Thanks again for the support mate. Hope your day is going well.
