Part C: Extra Knowledge

DO NOTE, All of this is based on my Opinion, It's an Option to Agree with it

C01: What's Wallet & Exchange Platform

• Wallet: it is used to store your tokens, You can't exchange your tokens with other currencies/tokens. You can only receive & send. This wallet belongs to you & you must keep it safe. All the Data on your wallet is not saved in centralize server and none can hack your wallet as long none have your private key

• Exchange Platform: This is a trading place where you can store your tokens/currency. You can trade tokens you have with any value exchange has to offer. The exchange will hold your token in their centralized data server for smoother trading. Anyone able to hack/stole your tokens if the Exchange company unable to compromise trust/security adherence.

C02: EOS Crowdsale vs Exchange

EOS Crowdsale: ( Do Check EOSscan.io Website for Contribution Detail )

How Much EOS you claim will be based on How much Contribution community has made in certain Period
Calculation:

How Much ETH/EOS x How much ETH Yo contributed = EOS you will be receiving

Eg: By END Of Period 108: 1 ETH = 100 EOS
You have contributed 0.5 ETH, so you will get 100 x 0.5 = 50 EOS

Note to Consider: ETH Price & How much ETH contributed NEARING end of Period

Exchange Platform:

(Do Note: Exchange Platform works like a Bank, It collect massive amount of token & they trade it, it can also trade token that has not released yet)

You can buy EOS based on the Token/Currency exchange offers. It will be on Fix Price & less calculation needed.

List of Recommended Exchange Platform

1. Bitfinex ( Currency to Token )
2. Binance ( Token to Token )

C06: Personal Opinion & Credit

In my opinion, EOS will be leading Crypto to a higher place. It will be beneficial to the community. We can hear a lot of promises made by another crypto developer, but I have never experienced and seen one same as EOS. This steemit is developed by Dan Larimer. From the function, and how easy it's to use makes me believe EOS can make it through.
Free Transaction Fee, Reliability, Open source to provide support Dapps written in different languages.

EOS have not alive, yet it has gathered so much of support & contribution from people. EOS admin is also approachable on Telegram at times, & we do help each other which makes the community greater.

On top of All, I am not working under EOS but I am here to Help.
