If youre a newbie to cryptocurrency trading or development, Ill refer you to BitMax because youll stand a better chance of not being rekted. Thats because BitMax team seems to be transparent. I think people need to read the latest blog from Shane and learn about liquidity experts.
I have read the recent blog from Shane about Bitmax and yes he explained Bitmax it well and also how a exchange should be. And I totally agree with with your point that it will be suitable for newcomers as I'm also one of them.
