# As deep as many would care to scroll, crypto exchange accounts are being offered from .3 BTC to 3 BTC, and everywhere in between. ![Screenshot2018-01-07at2.51.28PM.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmawb8q4YCNgSBwBHWvLoKNJtoYaR6MUG7wiyttt3TpJQZ/Screenshot2018-01-07at2.51.28PM.jpg) **Many of us, myself included, who've been inside the crypto community for years now, have forseen the day when cryptocurrency went mainstream into the public space.** I still believe that day is further off, but interest in crypto is without question at an all time high, and that cannot be ignored. Unprecidented amounts of exchange trading accounts have been created on the back of this impressive two month upthrust in market values of cryptocurrencies accross the board; so many new accounts have been created in fact that many major exchanges have shut down new account registrations, preventing new users from getting in on this market. Here's a post from @crypto21million: ![Screenshot2018-01-07at4.01.33PM.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeMxzt6thmzMwc5QKRV5dYunLq1TBTjUP2YBPBLSJvHv8/Screenshot2018-01-07at4.01.33PM.jpg) Greed is a powerful emotion that drives us as people to do things that could seem ridiculous in any other context. It's amazing in a gross sort of way to look at the massive number of posts selling accounts through DM: ![Screenshot 2018-01-07 at 3.44.29 PM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaiYHhWmjsAnJgTWwKMW163y9vU81dN2SKnb4FenEY8X9/Screenshot%202018-01-07%20at%203.44.29%20PM.png) It doesn't stop... ![Screenshot 2018-01-07 at 3.43.56 PM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWeS5EfkwLVdpriMxZkDqK88KURYZTznmLf9KcRsxZLRr/Screenshot%202018-01-07%20at%203.43.56%20PM.png) There's so much more; it's certain this only the very tip of the iceberg, and when it comes to account purchases on the deepweb or other services the market is huge. Normally, I would blur the names of those posting these out of privacy, but these are advertisements for purchase of services. By selling single accounts like this users may risk security of their other accounts, and therefore, it likely just isn't worth it. Binance issued this statement this morning after re-opening limited user registration: ![Screenshot 2018-01-08 at 5.23.32 AM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUWSe5PqXKfKF8v6dLqGy2CVzEs3eCn65ckFkVpyBEa9s/Screenshot%202018-01-08%20at%205.23.32%20AM.png) **But there is a gleaming silver lining to this story, and this is incredibly positive news for all cryptos including Steemit!** Fortunately, Blockshares is wide open for new users to bring Bitcoin and other buying power into the Steemit platform in the form of Steemit tokens (STEEM & SBD). **When markets re-open registrations, values of coins will certainly jump proportionately.** If you're here, you've got a ticket to ride. Steemit is a great platform to begin your crypto career or expand upon a portfolio you may already be holding. -*Do you have extra exchange accounts sitting around?* -*What price would you sell?* Leave your answers in the comments below. ## New followers be sure to upvote and comment to receive an upvote in return! ## Often times I go to my new followers content and upvote a few as well, especially if I'm online.
