People brand new to cryptocurrency are just about to go running to EXCHANGES as their friends told them, to buy.

As someone who was once a totally ignorant noob years ago, and is still a noob relative to most, this is interesting about Bitshares.

I just posted the first of a five part series today, Crypto Noob Lessons that I learned the hard way.

Part one is the importance of the exchanges and learning about them before you trust them with your money.

This is very basic, non-expert advice that I am sharing with those who know nothing, having had my money disappear on what I call "Sketchy" exchanges.

I would appreciate more of your detailed opinion on why Bitshares is going to be a 'gold standard', but also what you think in terms of reliability and security.. since I have never used it, and a lot of noobs will not know where to start.

Upvoted, thank you!
