In other news, I watched the net capitalization of crypto drop $2,000,000,000 in about 30 minutes.

Yes, use bitshares.org

I use Bitshares, run bots on Bitshares and I even have something I've been writing about BItshares for almost 6 months. However, outside of arbitrage, it's not practical for day-to-day trading due to low volume. It's actually the low volume bit that I'm writing about, and a thought experiment about how to address it.
