Check out NIX. Its simple NIX platform. What is it? A privacy coin, just another privacy coin? Not at all by no means. Its offers solutions to privatize BTC as well as any other crypto currencies through a protocol that they are implementing called "The ghost protocol"? Is this all it has to offer? Not at all... in Q4 of 2018 NIX will launch a DEX manager. You ask your self what is a DEX manager? It is a decentralized exchange manager that also offers a privacy layer. So what exactly is this? Being able to trade on all the decentralized exchanges that NIX has partnered all at one. Just that? No with a privacy layer. - There was no ICO no institutional funding, there is no need for me to obligate you to buy NIX, just a friendly shill. You can see the team is not money hungry and are doing this out of their own interest. Funding the project out of their own pocket when they could have done an ICO and filled their pockets. Exchange listings came out of their own pocket. Just know that now that the coin has launched, they will have a development fund, which is 7% of the block rewards. A lot less then most projects. PoW with masternodes, called ghostnodes. Its a recipe for excellence. While the initial circulating supply is around 38m coins and the max supply is 175m which will be mined over the course of 30 years + . Alot of coins will be "locked" up due to Ghostnodes, an expected of 200 Ghostnodes is what we expect from the claimed airdrop that the team did. A claimed airdrop that if you held a coin called Zoin, which the NIX team previously helped develop, for every 1 Zoin you held you get 2 NIX. There was around 200 Zoin masternodes, at the time of the snapshot, leading us to think there will be initially around 200 Ghostnodes. What does this mean? A Ghostnode requires 40k NIX, 40k x 200 is 8000000, around 25% of the initial supply will be "locked" due to Ghostnodes(Masternodes), so less circulating supply. And Ghostnodes will not just get 28% of the block rewards but 0.25% of every transaction of the DEX manager. Not only this but the team is looking to implement staking for people that don't have such amount (its not 100% confirmed) in the near future with the new wallet that will be releasing soon.
Look at all the centralized exchange hacks that have happened in the past years. You are going to tell me that DEXs are not the future? Personally I never ever store not even 1 cent on centralized exchanges, there is no trust. You make your own judgement, go check it out for yourself, start off reading the whitepaper:
