Kucoin Shares (KCS)
Unline other cryptocurrency exchanges, Kucoin has its own coin called Kucoin Shares (KCS). If you think that Kucoin popularity will increase and they will collect more fees in the future, you can invest in this exchange by buying Kucoin Shares, 50% of all trading fees will be distributed among Kucoin Shares owners. Also Kucoin Shares (KCS) are freely tradable, so you can buy and sell them anytime you like.

Great breakdown.

So interesting information. Thanks for your post, and keep posting aboust this. Greetings from Venezuela!!
Good day STEEMIAN!
This is all free and opensource information; all you need to do is upvote all posts of @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer and receive the sharing of the 33 percent of all SBD author rewards on a daily basis, no questions asked.
The @minnowminer program aims to help in the awareness program of the versatile JOULESTEEM circuit, a non-solar non-wind approach to low-power offgrid energy generation by re-distributing and sharing the daily SBD gains of all posts made by @lightingmacsteem and @minnowminer.
The JOULESTEEM circuit is reaching a very encouraging milestone (@lightingmacsteem post #51) that enables it to harness non-conventional offgrid power sources (air and ground as a huge capacitor) which is in turn made to charge big capacity batteries. This makes it very much ideal for low-power energy generation no matter the location, no matter the weather, no matter what time of the day.
To be able to fast-track its adoption worldwide and to where it may be needed most, the @minnowminer program is introduced to encourage all STEEMIANS to help and be part of the quick transformation of the JOULESTEEM circuit.
This is maybe the only straight-to-the-point no-questions-asked sharing scheme that will enable each one to earn and learn as a STEEMIAN.
Keep on STEEMING guys!!!
Registered an account a while ago but never traded there yet. Since Binance is down for some time today, I might transfer some tokens and coins there to check.
Did you check out IDEX yet? What is your view on it? Be curious to hear.
One of the best things about KuCoin for me at least, is that they're not THAT popular yet and their UI is about as clean and smooth-running as they come. The fact that you can trade using TradingView charts on it is a BIG BIG plus when compared to something like Binance that's laggy and buggy to say the least. Or is it just my personal Binance experience? Is anyone else experiencing problems?
Hey @arnoldwish.. Nice article, this will indeed help ppl who have not used this exchange belore.
I am a kucoin user since 2017 when it was just started as you have menioned correctly that its a people exchange and it does distribute the 50% of the collected trading fee every day to its KCS holders but here it's imp to tell everyone that they distribute these fee in terms of collected tokens..
means if in a single day Kucoin had collected 100 btc and 200 ETC during BTC-ETC trading then they will distribute from these collected tokens ..
Its very good for a passive income as you ll end up having a lots of alt coins which you might never buy.. and you never know in crypto world which coin moon when..
I believe you should have also mention about the multi-level referal bonus in kucoin exchange.
I hope above information will add a value to your readers..
Congratulations @arnoldwish! You have received a personal award!
