i suggest pls dont expect too much. your 500bucks might only be 5bucks in real life later on. that is very possible to happen. and if huge number of users availed those freebies, it will be dump hard once they have trading pair for their token. just giving you a possible scenario here.
this exchange is trying very hard to attract traders. but it all boils down to their management, how they are treating their clients in day to day operations. how are they resolving issues of their clients?
You say the right thing. Of course, I do not expect that the promised 500 dollars will be exactly 500 dollars. maybe I'll get 50, at best 100 is the maximum. It all depends on what the coin will be like on January 1, 2020. And as for the Coinsbit exchange, I personally can not say anything bad. Normal exchange. The guys really try and develop.
