Which markets would YOU recommend, now that the Bitcoin literally became unusable in low amounts?

It's a problem and a blessing at the same time for me, since I'm forced into abstinence.

Yet, how should one adapt to this?
The fees got enormous, the sites I use to buy BTC set their minimum amount you can buy up to 500€.

So I wanted to use Monero... but OpenBazaar got its own problems the last time I used it and AERO got really bad reviews the last weeks.

What to do now?
What do you do?
Any recommendations?

  1. Dream is run by competent people who are also unprincipled thieves, but has the biggest selection, vendors and uptime. Removed (rightly so) from the market superlist for staff thievery and bad support. ONGOING PROBLEMS
  2. Libertas is usable but lacking vendors currently. MINOR PROBLEMS
  3. TMG is usable but DD only, so homework must be done and drug selection is limited.
  4. Zion Limited vendor selection as with others. I guess lack of resources / competent staff is holding them back. Also, stupid name for a market given its religious connotations.
  5. WallSt Market. STUPID NAME. Looks stupid. Few vendors, probably because of the stupid name and how stupid it looks. You can tell staff is into fraud, and who wants to support that? Also PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR
  6. /r/OpenBazaar is a nascent mess. Needs time.
  7. Did I forget any? I did.
  8. CGMC. Cannabis only. Requires waiting for an invite. Not useful for non-cannabis users (that's us "hardcore" druggy scum types).
  9. Agora Reloaded - ripped off an old, trusted market's name, what else will they rip off?
  10. Omega Market - too new, not much promotion

They all have problems. Pick your poison.

Buy in larger amounts. Buy less often and have what you want.

We have opened up a shop on Libertas but have yet to see any customers there: we also take Monero on Zion. Monero appears to be the way forward, at least for now: as you said, Bitcoin is currently unusable for smaller transactions.

Agora Reloaded is alright.

Libertas

Im afraid right now if you need to get whatever you need, imo, just stick to BTC, despite the high fees.

A lot of new market and crypto currency is immerging at an alarming pace to the point of unstability.

If you really dont want to use BTC, then you either have to take a risk with the new crypto currency and markets or pay the higher fee for something thats been around for a significantly longer time. Or you can just wait it out and see what happens.

Yeah, I know. It sucks and it might get worse in the future.

Man, I miss the good old days, literally like a year ago lo, of so many markets to choose from and not worry about absurd BTC fees
