WCX and why it interests me (hello decentralization, goodbye high exchange fees)

in #crypto7 years ago (edited)

I do not own WCX tokens (yet). This project has a number of reasons why I'm going to invest (why I'm buying their token) and why I'll be using their exchange for trading which I'll touch on below.

What is WCX?

Global Low-Cost Digital Currency Exchange

Stop putting up with lousy exchanges.
WCX offers a pro experience with 10x lower fees.

The kicker

  • Not only a very attractive dividend structure, but also
  • You can either keep your WCXT in your WCX wallet on the exchange or in an ERC20 compatible address (like MyEtherWallet) that you securely link to your WCX wallet.

Important Notes for potential investors

  • I am not an advisor, this is just my opinion
  • At the ICO, 10 WCXT = 1 USD.
  • The ICO is the only time WCXT will be issued and offered to the public.
  • By the time the ICO begins (currently in Pre-ICO stage), WCX will have a fully functional product, so you'll know exactly what to expect before deciding whether or not to participate in the token sale.

Extensive whitepaper

Tokens

What are WCXT (WCX's token)?

As a holder of WCXT, you're entitled to receive a share of WCX's revenue.

20% of all revenue generated by WCX is automatically paid out to WCXT holders, in amounts based on each holder's share of the total amount of tokens.

As an exchange, WCX collects fees in many digital currencies – which means that WCXT holders are paid in many different digital currencies. Holding WCXT is hence equivalent to holding a passive income portfolio of diverse digital currencies.

Payments will be made on a monthly basis. To receive payment, you can either keep your WCXT in your WCX wallet on the exchange or in an ERC20 compatible address that you securely link to your WCX wallet.

Key Dates

  • Sep 1, 2017: Private Beta Launch. 5,000 people from 30 different countries will be selected for the WCX Beta Program.
  • Oct 1, 2017: ICO begins. During the ICO (Initial Coin Offering), you’ll be able to buy WCX Tokens with BTC or ETH. This is the only time WCX tokens will be issued and sold by WCX.
  • Oct 10, 2017: Launch. WCX opens its doors to the public.

Tiny fees for everyone.

WCX offers an enviable cost advantage. Just 0.1% net per transaction, and you get paid, not charged a fee, if you’re a maker.

WCX's Purpose/Vision

To become the largest (and most loved) digital currency exchange in the world.

Compliance

Above all, WCX aims to provide an honest and ethical service. WCX will comply with all laws and regulations in the jurisdictions it serves.

These are just a few of the standout features for me. I'd love to hear others opinions, comments and questions about WCX.

While it may not be a scam in your opinion, it could be considered spam. Spam is not appreciated by the community and could be flagged or may result in action from the cheetah bot..

Some things that can be considered spam:

  • Banner ads of any kind
  • Referral links/codes
  • Repeating the same post
  • Links to known scams, phishing sites, and other dangerous links

First link is titled "Non-Affiliate link".

The second link clearly advertised as a referral link because it provides extra value to the end user.

So much for trying to contribute to the community when you get penalized for this...

I have just made a post exposing this behaviour by Steemcleaners because it happened to me too and many others like you. Please if you want to do something about this, look at my post and consider adding your upvote and/or resteem support so we can do something about this. Thanks. https://steemit.com/steemit/@pandorasbox/steemcleaners-abuse-or-malfunction-honest-people-are-getting-flagged-unfairly-censorship-under-the-guise-of-anti-spam-are-you#@pandorasbox/re-charmand3r-re-pandorasbox-steemcleaners-abuse-or-malfunction-honest-people-are-getting-flagged-unfairly-censorship-under-the-guise-of-anti-spam-are-you-20170908t013819302z

Thank you @pandorasbox, I've upvoted and resteemed your post as this needs to be seen by the wider community!

It highlights exactly how the steem platform can be abused (and is being so) by some users for their own gain. I really hope some action comes of this and find your post well documented and fair.
