RE: Are Korean Markets Our Only Hope?

Both Poloniex and Bittrex have ruined their platforms, so the only volume comes from the eastern platforms. It's a pity Steem isn't listed on more western platforms (as far as I can tell the only people who can register on Upbit are Koreans.

I agree. I think the adoption will increase over time when volumes improve. I hope Steemit Inc would do more towards greater exchange adoption of Steem.

I think the trouble is that most exchanges want you to pay to get listed. See

Cryptocurrency exchanges are charging between $50,000 and $1 million to list initial coin offerings, according to a Business Insider investigation

Back in 2016 when bitcoin's price was low, it was easier to get listed. Now it costs an arm and a leg, unless you have such big volumes that exchanges list for free because they want a piece of the trading action.
