Next.Exchange

My journey into the world of crypto had several starts and stops. Only recently did I actually take the leap and buy my first digital asset. My first purchase was 0.51038973 BTC. For the uninitiated, BTC is Bitcoin. And yes, it is always written with 8 decimals. And, recently it was worth over $10,000 per coin. So, if I still held that, it would be worth over $5,000 USD. But BTC is volatile. Which makes it a risky investment, unless you are a knowledgeable trader. So, my BTC quickly became an investment in an ICO, or Initial Coin Offering, thus becoming my first Crypto investment. And no, the BTC didn’t cost me $5,000, nor was it ever worth $5,000, while I held it.

I have to admit, this whole process was complicated. Choosing an exchange to buy BTC took me a long time. Literally, I spent a couple weeks finding exchanges and opening accounts just to find out that I wasn’t comfortable or happy with many of them before I even made an investment. Like most first timers, I ended up using Coinbase. Now, I will not say anything bad about Coinbase. But I will say that it is built to be simple. It makes buying BTC, ETH or LTC as easy a process as possible. Just create an account, connect your bank account, Buy one of these 3 Cryptos and then wait 5–10 days while the ACH processes…. And then you need to create a wallet…and then you need to transfer the BTC to the wallet, very carefully. Manage your private keys. Share your public key, Now? No. Now? Yes! Ok! Whew! But then you need to do “something” with your crypto. I mean, why buy it if it’s not useful for something right? Don’t just leave it sitting in a wallet. So, I bought an investment with it. But carefully, and only after much investigation, because there are lots of Scams, bad products, and useless ICOs happening in the crypto world today.

But seriously, this is all too difficult for the average user. The crypto world is not ready for first timers like me. Or at least, it hasn’t been until now. Now I have found a better way. I have found a place where I can directly purchase Crypto (that’s digital currency) with Fiat (that’s real money) in real time. I found a place where I can access both Stock and Digital assets simultaneously and I can trade between them whenever I want. There is a community of users, investment professionals, licensed advisers, and credentialed crypto experts who can help me on my journey. It’s a place that simplifies how I manage my security concerns and helps protect my assets and investments. I found Next.Exchange.

Next.Exchange will make crypto available to anyone wanting to enter and participate in the digital marketplace. It will bring crypto currencies and fiat together like never before.

And now, the newest update from Next.Exchange is that Electroneum (ETN) is the first crypto currency chosen by the community to be available for exchange with fiat and other crypto currencies. (Hey, Electroneum was my first ICO Investment! So, this is cool!) Many of you may already know that ETN completed ICO early in Nov due to the overwhelming support of 120,000 investors and 300,000 registers users. Security concerns over the safety of users wallets due to external password hacks (not Electroneum directly) caused Electroneum CEO, Richard Ells, to take precautions by locking the ICO wallets and calling on Hackerone to perform month long penetration and security testing against the platform. While the ICO Wallets are on hold, mined Electroneum coins are available currently on Cryptopia at about $.052, already a huge increase over the ICO price of $.01. The current price is up about 40% on news of Next.Exchange adding support for fiat purchases of Electroneum on its platform. This amazing partnership kicks off in preview for Next.Exchange investors on December 14, with the platform becoming available to the general public in January. To see some of the excitement about this announcement check out this awesome video at Crypto for the People.

Next.Exchange is in ICO now. In order to participate on the Next.Exchange platform users will need to acquire and use the Next token. This token is now available for sale at a rate of 1ETH = 1000 NEXT.
