  ### 2. Cryptopia & It's Public Dishonesty

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Krystal Marie N. | Momtrepreneur , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2021

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

There is nothing about shady Cryptopia that I like. They used Dotcoin from the beginning to silently take criminal action while being very discreet and intentional. The massive money laundering, theft of cryptocurrency. I believe the intent was stealing from people would keep the exchange afloat. Publicly making false claims of a sudden hacking concluding in a  breach, claiming an unauthorized hacker was accessing the trading platform. Nothing could be further from the truth. Common sense of the founders would have sparked their state of awareness of what was happening. Both founding members having involvement is a logical assumption.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

The Dotcoin logo is in the Cryptopia logo. It is like a please of guilt. I've heard it said, "hidden in plain sight"  That perfectly defines the logo in logo expression I have just noted here. Were both logos created knowingly and intentionally so intertwined with one another?  Who knows? Seeing that the exchange was attacked by a hacker plus the same time as Cryptopia's non-successful down spiral. Did Cryptopia have investors readily available and willing? For the Dotcoin enthusiasts, the mining community  & crypto fans it was an unfortunate ending . The golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you filing for bankruptcy would be an equal outcome for a company that scammed its users. Both Cryptopia's logo and Dotcoin's logo are the same. The statement: "hidden in plain sight" is painting a different picture.

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I did become far more informed about cryptocurrency. That was one positive. By my observations, the crooked entrepreneurs got the ending they desired, I suppose. This little organized crime attempt did not prevail. The level of corruption isn't shocking nor amazing. Perhaps, for the average guy or gal, maybe. After hundreds of hours of self-education, I sought knowledge and learning from others, so my knowledge of corruption is nothing short of extensive.

  ### 3. cryptopia one of the most simple to use exchange

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yenny G. | Dueño, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

What I like most about this exchange is that it has in its cryptocurrency menu (to call it that) a great variety of new currencies and a large number of coins unknown to the trade or users of the exchange but that could arrive a capital so that this exchange gives them the opportunity to do it

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

What I like least about this exchange is that it has very little volume and therefore few whales do not trade in it, the price for raising a coin to that exchange seems a bit high

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

my recommendation, lower the prices to the new projects that they want to igresar in their exchange

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The business problems that I have solved with this exchange are many since it has many currencies that I had in the past and I could not change them, I realized that this exchange is very much the problem of trading people who do not handle a lot of money

  ### 4. perfect exchange for small coins

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jorge C. | Jefe de almacen, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

What I like most about this exchange is the amount of coins and small chips that can be sold at a good volume and the amount in retirement is low that is favorable for those who trade with a low amount of money

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

 what I like the least the low volume of Great coins recognized in the cryptographic world, besides that the volume in btc seems that there are not many whales in the exchange, it also has an old-fashioned graphical interface a little complicated to the naked eye

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

50 thousand satochis is much like minimum to do the trading, before when they were 5000 satochis was more comfortable ...

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

the problems that I solve are that since there are a lot of small coins that are not recognized by the big exchanges, I can market them and get some profit from them.

  ### 5. Very slow on mobile devices

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Capital Markets | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

Cryptopia provides a very intuitive mobile web interface with clear tabs for various markets that it offers (BTC, USDT,  NZDT, LTC, DOGE). The exchange enables two-factor authentication during registration, which is a great for security.

Certain coins (like TrumpCoin 😂) are listed on Cryptopia but not on other major exchanges such as Coinbase, Bittrex, Binance, etc. Strange, but it simply means more opportunities for casual traders.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

Cryptopia is very slow on mobile devices. Charts take a while to load on mobile.

Deposit fees are relatively high and could reach $500 in some cases.

Given the risk factor of trading on Cryptopia, volume ia relatively low compared to other major exchanges.

I was one of the victims of stolen funds on the platform on February 2018 and it couldn't be recovered because there was no logs of the transaction. So I lost some money.

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Cryptopia to diversify my assets. Certain coins are not accessible on major exchanges but are on Cryptopia. The High volatility aspect of the platform offers both great opportunities and high risks

  ### 6. Mostly Good

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicholas M. | Telecom Specialist co-op, Utilities, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

Has coins other exchanges do not.  It is easy to use and has not been hacked to losses as far as I am aware

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

They might phase out a coin you use on a whim and youll have to then transfer or sell it.

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

They have good security measures and it looks like the refreshed the site a lot which shows the support they have behind it.  Back when Bitcoin was higher it was a bit more to send it and a certain amount needed  but that was probably the market in some part.

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A good place to trade coins and does not require anything specific other than an email and password to start.  Plus the coins /currency like any other site.

  ### 7. Cryptopia NZ review

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian F. | Planner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

Cryptopia lists very new or not yet mainstream coins giving you the opportunity to find undiscovered projects with high potential. This is also a high risk but high reward strategy. 

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

There are a lot of exchanges with much better user experience and charting tools available. 

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

You can find undiscovered coins here but beware that the user interface and tools available are much better on other exchanges. If you are willing to take the risk and do research on coins listed here, you can potentially find projects very early on, before they become popular. 

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For a high risk trader, you can find undiscovered potential gems here. Just beware of the risk because it is not a guarantee that a coin will be successful. 

  ### 8. Cryptopia is a niche exchange for those that are searching for those unknown altcoins.

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sabah B. | Brand Ambassador / Content Marketer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

The greatest thing about Cryptopia has to be its coin pool. When you go on it and search through the pairings, you can scroll down for a while and still have tons left to go through. Its very likely you won't even know most of the coins that are on the platform. That is good because it means its a place that certain people can go too for extremely lesser known coins.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

The interface of Cryptopia just looks extremely confusing. The actual trading zone is pretty weird because the sell orders and buy orders are displayed in a list format that is just straight text so it is very weird to look at. An extreme downside of the exchange is the lack of volume on it as well which doesn't help the sell order/ buy order case either as it can be harder to trade when few are on the platform to fill orders.

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

Only use it to buy coins that aren't on any other exchanges

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cryptopia allows for people to buy coins they wouldn't anywhere else.

  ### 9.  An incredible platform for trading cryptocurrencies

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paola S. | Experto de Productos y Segmentos I, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

It offers one of the best experiences of exchange of cryptocurrencies, a broad online market where you can perform your operations with great ease, another of its attractions is that it has available its arbitration function with which you can view the exchange price of cryptocurrencies in other exchange, you can even buy buy gift cards 

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

The only thing that I do not like is that you can only withdraw fiat money to New Zealand bank accounts, therefore the income obtained we have managed only to our bitcoin purses, although it worked it would be ideal to withdraw accounts in the United States

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With the limited public budget, we in the foundation look for new forms of investment that allow us to generate our own income to generate new audiovisual products, cryptopia has been ideal to meet our objectives by making passive investments that have generated resources in the short and medium term through the criptomodenas trading

  ### 10. Cryptopia exchange for trading

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Security and Investigations | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

Cryptopia has a standard exchange interface. It features a graph that allows you to easily switch between candlesticks for price and volume, an order book/depth chart, and a distribution chart. For anyone looking for low rates, the New Zealand is an option. Its rate is only 0.2% on each transaction, one-fifth of Coinbase's base rate. It handles over 400 different crypto coins in addition to Bitcoin, but unfortunately does not support traditional coin operations.



**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

Low volume
Confusing interface
Ethereum not accepted
Rude staff

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

Cryptopia is a great exchange for anyone wanting to trade less popular altcoins or casual traders that put great value into social interaction. For the big players there are better alternatives and, if you are an Ethereum enthusiast simply stay away from this place.

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hundreds of altcoins listed
Low fees
Fast customer support
Sense of community
An arbitrage tool.

  ### 11. 2.5 years of trading in Cryptopia - i'm pretty satisfied, Cryptopia is very good for "mid-traders"

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Irad C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

I like the Top Markets window (exchange page) - it is very nice to stay updated about the cryptocurrencies with the highest volume/% change, sometimes i consider investing in these markets.
This platform is offering big amount of cryptocurrencies, i really like i have the option to move my tradings between different crypto assets everyday and even stay updated with the new crypto coins/tokens.
The new design of Cryptopia looks more professional and attractive than the old gray design.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

In some of the cryptocurrencies, you can withdraw only in rounded amounts - so if i have not rounded amount - i must buy more/convert another coin to this currency to get a rounded number (like the Neo currency).
Cryptopia doesn't have a mobile application.

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

Like i said in the title - Cryptopia platform is very good for "mid-traders", i mean that i would recommend using this platform to a friend/business colleague that has an experience as a trader for several months at least, but on the other hand, there is more professional crypto trade platforms for really expert traders.

If you are a daily trader - do not be fixed on specific assets, cryptopia platform exposes you to lots of crypto assets that is not offered in other exchanges all together.

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I trade in Cryptopia as a platform with big amount of different currencies, this is really convinient that it has most of the crypto assets in the market in one place.
I also use it as a wallet cryptocurrencies that's not offered in other crypto exchanges.
Cryptopia also offer Featured Markets section - it contains information about new promissing cryptocurrencies/crypto projects that got into the market. We are using this feature to learn about these crypto assets and future projects in the crypto market.

  ### 12. Functional exchange with plenty of alt-coin options

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Saul J. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

There is a wide variety of alt-coins some of which are not available on other major exchanges. There are some interesting markets, such as Dodge and NZDT which are unavailable on other exchanges. The arbitrage tool is useful for spotting opportunities to capitalise on price differences between exchanges.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

The interface is a bit confusing with little consideration for visual hierarchy, in this regard it can be confusing for beginners.

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

Worth the learning curve in order to access the variety of alt-coins

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Paying in cryptocurrencies are sometimes subject to discounts from retailers which has helped to increase margins

  ### 13. Cryptopia Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

What I like best about this site is the layout. It is very convenient to follow and understand. I used this ICO when I was fairly new to cryptocurrency trading. The layout here was easier for me to follow versus other sites at that time, such as Binance.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

I dislike how this exchange includes some "unknown" cryptocurrencies or smaller alt coins that are not quality coins. For example, they offer coins that no other exchange does and for some people this may be a strength but for beginners it can be misleading, as I have been fooled by small, new alt coins promising big hopes and then investing in them believing they are legit because they are on cryptopia just to later find out the coin is shorted or now missing. I would encourage the exchange to do more thorough research on their offered alt coins 

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

Great exchange for new users interested in exploring alt coins not offered on many other exchanges. However, do your research on specific alt coins offered as you're responsible for your investment and try to figure out reasons as to why the alt coins here are not offered on other exchanges.

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was interested in looking at different alt coins like Doge coin and others that were not easily found on popular exchange like Coinbase. Cryptopia was able to offer me a wide range of choices. However, one needs to be wary as not all offers are legit.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Investment Banking | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Cryptopia?**

One of the things that help to make them better then other online trading platforms is the amount of pairs they offer for trading crypto. Makes it easier to arbitrage and make a quick buck.

**What do you dislike about Cryptopia?**

My biggest peeve with cryptopia is there level of support. I struggle to be able to reach any person for days on end. Not a good thing when you forget your password and get locked out.

**Recommendations to others considering Cryptopia:**

Be sure to check out other exchanges and compare the fees based on the volume that you think you will be trading. 

**What problems is Cryptopia solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps to be able to trade cryptocurrency and be able to buy into a lot of coins quickly and easily.  We have been able to go and make a good bit of money in a quick amount of time by buying small coins that were not available on other coin exchanges. Then when those coins would appear on other exchanges. the price would rise and we would be the winners.

Converting Ethereum to smaller coins, Cryptopia had coins that no other platform has which was a deal breaker
