This is probably worth a read to make your mind up on the legitimacy of Xtrade. Decent article followed by response by the developers: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@xanderxietjes/xtrade-io-scam-or-just-dubious

Thanks for that article. I just read it. I'm glad to see that XTRADE responded to it and made a lot of good points. I'm not sure what the gain was for the person writing the article, but the points were pretty bad. For one, as a web developer, I have never found it "fishy" to use whois privacy. It's actually recommended for obvious security reasons. Second, it is not uncommon for people to build a working project before deciding to pay for a domain. Why pay for something you aren't actively using?

It's good that you shared that article because people should definitely do some research before blindly investing. With that said, people shouldn't always assume that privacy is a red flag and believe any article that people put together that tries to scare people out of investing in a project. There are obvious reasons why someone would choose to do that for personal gain or if it provides them with a competitive advantage. As a very careful investor, I see that XTRADE has a working and valuable product, good experience, a solid team, etc. Obviously, any investment in an ICO is a risk that you should research but I think XTRADE is pretty legit.
