Bittrex to remove 82 Coins by the end of the Month
You can relax though, Steem and SBD aren't one of them.
In a blog post the other day, Bittrex announed that they would be removing support for 82 coins.
The post can be seen here:

Luckily for all of us here, that list doesn't include the likes of Steem or SBD.

*According to Bittrex, the coins with an " * " next to their name is due to there being an underlying problem with the blockchain or wallet for that particular coin that will not allow for withdrawals.
Why the removal of so many coins?
Bittrex states that the removal of coins and wallets has to do with meeting their listing requirements, or lack there of.
This from Bittrex:
"These actions are taken to ensure customers have access to digital tokens that continue to meet our strict coin listing criteria and have a properly functioning blockchain and wallet."
(Source: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001609031)
If you have any of these coins, they need to be removed by March 30, 2018 if you would like to have access to them.
Personally, this sounds like part of the process of cleaning up the exchanges to better meet regulator requirements.
The sooner we can clean up much of the garbage out there, the sooner real projects like Steem can achieve more accurate valuations.
Stay informed my friends.

Wow, so many coins I've never heard of. Some hidden gems among the lot, or are they all garbage?
To be honest, they are probably all garbage, hence why they are being removed. :)
it might not be a bad thing: any coins last this bear market will have a bright future

It looks like the is no target for the link in you post.
maybe it will catch on and there will be
Good article .. need to bookmark for deeper investigation about these coins
Busy.org can make bokmarks
the pity is only the is no bookmark function on steemit.
I heard if using steem through busy.org ( we’d have the bookmark ; among other good functions )
a topic to the matter

Thanks for this Link 🙏🏼
The main thing is that SBD and STEEM leave.
its the best step to make sure that the market does not have shitcoins!
Bittrex doing housecleaning is a good idea.More should be done to regulate the influx of useless coins into the market.
None of the ones I'm hodling... of course as good as I am at picking coins, they will probably remove themselves!
Haha that is pretty funny. Clean up the garbage coins!
I don't even recognize any of those on the list... Of course the way cryptos are behaving now anything can happen- so I bought some more!
Same here :)
Cheers 🍻
it could be a mess if this is the story
I have nostalgia when i see some of those coins!!!
For example XC - I taught it will stay for permanent but Dan has done some bad moves
Congratulations
i wonder how you did it
