i think either are solid choices. i thought kraken was more euro tied and bittrex has us dollar tether and is focused on altcoins tied to btc. Ive only used bittrex and never had issues. Can you trade steem on Kraken?

I have accounts with both and I'm happy with both - so it's all down to personal choice at the end of the day :)

any determining factors or anything that separates the two?

I find the Bittrex platform a bit more intuitive - but not by much!

cool! cheers for the info
