Well, doing my part slowly feeding in some liquidity, strictly on the buy side, on BitMart. First time in years accumulating, feels good 
(EDIT BITMART; not HITBTC)

You sure you want to deal with HitBTC? It will be at your own risk.

Well aware, but thanks Wouldnt touch it or associate it with the main stackā¦ just trying to buy a couple thousand and withdraw to test er out.
Ok and you checked that their wallet is no longer on maintenance since it has been for the last +6 months or so?
ERC20 is suspended, but ANT is open to withdraw on Arbitrumā¦ Fee 5 ANT (2USD) Seeing as it is listed as a trading arena, and a fiat friendly onramp, hopefully it is legit. Will give it a go when I am back home and report backā¦ for science and the community haha.

I never understand why anyone would ever consider using these cex (bitmart) when there is uniswap

Doing it for science mostly. To answer your question, you have to look at it from a new person buying with fiat UX as wellā¦ e.g. I know a few people who are interested in dipping their toes in, and so far I have now successfully bought on both BitMart and Uniswap and am compiling practical notes for them. The answer depends on ones familiarity with crypto. I guess there are 3 different issues:
- Fiat/Crypto bridge
- Crypto/ANT
- Privacy (If you can already get crypto without KYC or understand privacy in general, golden, but many are not there yet)
Given new fiat that wants to get into the system, BitMart makes it pretty instantā¦ for a roughly 3% fee, you can immediately buy and withdraw ANT without govt ID (name + cc or bank makes it linkable to your real ID). It is easier to trickle buy with limit orders on BitMart.
Uniswap is trickier for a noviceā¦ ANT is not a default choice without fully linking up, and you have to grok the Arbitrum network (2Ls in general), which is abstracted away by BitMart. If you want to put fiat in, then lower fee but KYC is through moonpay, although the link is somewhat severed by the DEX.
To summarize the experience so far, if you are a novice and just want to get some ANT with fiat and dont care about privacy, bitmart is easier until you know what you are doing. If you already have crypto, or are comfortable with all the basic concepts, then uniswap all the way. If you need privacy, uniswap from crypto is the only way.

The inability to set limit prices for ANT on Uniswap is unfortunate.

The main ant token/airdrop will be on the eth network and not the arb network am i right? I would also expect liquidity pools to live there?
It be a disaster for investors to first having to convert their usdc to arb usdc, just to buy ant through uniswap
Yeah, I very much doubt there will be any significant pump until demand grows for using the network.
Once a bunch of developers are bringing out constantly improving apps that make the network useful, and people want to upload stuff, then I expect we can see an organic growth in demand that should start pushing the price up.

Its supported on mainnet ETH but that does not help us!
ANT is on the ARB network (which is where the liquidity pools are too). You have to bridge your ETH or stablecoins to ARB
Thats true ,i hink we need traction ,i remember solana was 58 cents at launch 18 moths later it was over 250 follars,heres hoping

That is disastrous for onboarding, imho.
Fortunately bridging will become more seamless with the next eth update
