I agree that all sums me up too. I was mostly using bittrex and have lately been sending coins I need to convert to fiat to coinbase, though I never send bitcoin. I recently also got a binance.com account and it is nice for being able to buy some currencies I wanted that are not on bittrex. There they have a bitcoin based market like bittrex, but they also have an ethereum based market too, so you don't have to use bitcoin at all there if you want.

It doesn't have steem or steem dollars there though.
