As was noted by @posi on another thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300112.0, we are answering certain points here in order not to disturb other people with advertisements of self-promotion which they don't intend to see. Besides it might be useful for others, therefore, hope this helps
Etoro is one of the reputable exchange and it will hard for people to believe you. If thats you truly plan to offer it really a good idea but I have once went through your site but I dont anything that explained as part of your activities and what I saw is you guys to be the first OTC cryptocurrency derivatives marketplace which allow the creation of new instrument. However, it not easy to trust new exchange with anonymous team lolthat offer all that you said.
First of all I really want to thank you from myself personally, from the name of our CEO and from the entire team! We really appreciate that you took time to go through our website and check information about us. Secondly, this question has been asked before on our ANN page, and we disclosed part of the team on the 2nd page (here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293103.20). And thirdly, you are absolutely right, and we all understand very well your argument - all the new exchanges that emerged recently either luck liquidity, so once you enter, you cannot get out, or simply scams to steal your deposit, or sell you useless tokens. I will address this part on our own ANN thread in order not to disturb people with advertisements who don't want to see it here, since the topic is not about this
And last, but not the least, it's OTC only for now as the product is highly customizable to your own needs and wishes, however, in 2021 we will be launching the standard CEX which you all guys used to where you can trade standardized TVS as well, as trading OTC just whatever you personally. wish to trade. Thank you again for checking us out, and feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.
The points mentioned in our previous reply are:
1) Yes, we understand very well that we are new, and thus it's very reasonable for some people not to believe us: by the end of 2020 we at
as.exchange partnered with reputable PR agency to assist us with public relations & media relations in order to establish "social proof", which is obviously not there yet, as we went live just in December 5, 2020. Therefore, this issue will be solved pretty soon. Apart from that, we try to stay as active as possible in our social networks, and occasionally even the CEO himself takes time to reply to comments and feedback whenever possible;
2) Other exchanges scam people in most of the cases and/(or) sell the useless tokens/coins to raise funds/scam people: Absolutely correct, therefore, we made several commitments that were announced publically as you can see from comments here, which includes: 1. Never do ICO/TGE/IEO, 2. Never do DeFi, 3. If ever have to raise funds - do it through traditional ways of approaching VCs, or reputable crowdfunding platforms, but never just in public as done by other blockchain projects, 4. Before we have to raise anything from external parties, irrespective of who they are (professional funds or reputable crowdfunding platforms) founders and the whole team will spend all their personal money and savings for the company/project, because if we are not able to commit everything what we have, how we can ask people for any kind of trust?
3) Other CEX/DEX/...EX lack the liquidity: Very common issue for any new or recently emerged platform which is solved at
as.exchange in several approaches: 1. We provide our own liquidity / funding, thus if there's nobody for you to trade with, we will help to settle your trade (if it's within reasonable amounts and not in millions or billions), 2. By now since the first day of
as.exchange going live, we had nearly $1m traded (a little less) after we conducted several rounds of marketing, thus there are real people, traders and investors who are using
as.exchange from different countries, and we are continually expanding the marketing activities to ensure that more people know about us, and more people can trade with each other via
as.exchangeHope the above helps, and feel free to let us know if you have more questions
