If you are following my blog you know I am interested in crypto exchanges. There is so much potential for any exchange that takes off. Lots can be made if you can get in at the ICO pricing and hang in for a few years until the platform is in full use. Worst case you are wrong and out your initial investment which should never be more then you can live without anyway.

There are so many new crypto exchanges coming out now it's hard to know which will work out. Some will look to invest in as many as possible. Spreads small investments around into multiple new exchanges and hope one that you picked takes off. Others might do lots of research to find which exchanges have the most promise and only invest in those projects.
LocalCoinSwap https://www.localcoinswap.com is building a P2P exchange and launching with 10 top coins. The main part of the exchange will be peer to peer with no centralized bank accounts or verification requirements and no restrictions on trades.
100% of the profits is going back to coin holders meaning they get a small cut of trades across all 10 coins on the platform. Eventually more coins will be added and more profits kicked back to coin holders.
Coin holders will benefit with a dividend income stream, access to an entire portfolio holding one single asset, voting rights via proof of stake system and bonus airdrops of new tokens listed via LocalCoinSwap's platform.

I am not a crypto expert and this blog is not intended to be investing advice. I’m just a normal person like you, so always do your own research. I’m interested in promoting projects like this. I may own these coins soon but do not own any at the time of writing this blog. Learn more about projects I am following via my Twitter and Bitcointalk pages.
