Just the other day I withdrew my minuscule IOTA holdings from Bitfinex because of all the bs that has been going on with them. Only thing I was keeping there.

Where did you store them if I may ask? I understand the IOTA wallet is not very  user friendly

no audits, no professional tone, nope instead it's a "media offensive" -- just what the public wanted!

I only opened a Bitfinex account to buy IOTA. I've moved about 75% of it into a paper wallet. I'd move the rest to Binance or something but it's also heavily USDT-infested. I wish Bitstamp would add it (along with Monero, BCH and Dash cause why not).

I'm using the IOTA wallet and yes, it's very unfriendly.

Is Bitfinex worth opening an account with?

I don't personally have a Bitfinex account, but public scrutiny always leads to walking on eggshells. Right now is probably the best time to have a Bitfinex account for that reason alone.

Yea I figured as much. I wanted something that paired with the USD as opposed to BTC since BTC is tanking a little.

Just wanted to update anyone if they stumble upon this thread:
