Do you use emerging cryptocurrency exchanges? What are your thoughts on trusting these smaller exchanges? Additionally, some of these exchanges host events where we can earn altcoins. What do you think about such events?
I would stay away from unknown Centralized Exchanges. There is such a long history of small Exchanges that went extinct, Scammed their Customers or were sketchy generally that I am convinced it is better to not earn those few Cents and keep myself sane than earn some Shit Coins that end up worthless anyway and be robbed too.
Events where you can earn Altcoins. It reminds me of those Exchanges which host such Events and the Market goes plain insane for a few minutes, the smart guys earn their Fortune, the rest of the people lose it all and then the Coin is forgotten.
Or those Events through which they earn something off you. To the point where you are probably better off earning Money off Surveys or selling your own information over the Black Market and putting the Money in Bitcoin. If you really want to get something stripped off you for a few Cents, do it. I would not touch it.
