LocalCoinSwap, a Decentralized P2P Cryptocurrency Exchange

If you invest in just one ICO this year, it’d make sense to choose the project which offers you quarterly dividends in a whole basket of top market cap coins - and simultaneously gives you the chance to own a piece of the exchange itself.  LocalCoinSwap has distilled the concept of peer to peer back to its essence, by creating a decentralized platform to facilitate direct transactions between its members.

Developing trading tools which are safe and intuitive to use in combination with a social layer, LocalCoinSwap is building the most inclusive cryptocurrency exchange to date - where any sovereign currency can be used to buy and sell a diverse range of cryptocurrencies, from any location on earth.

All LCS Cryptoshare holders earn not only profit dividends but also a right to vote on the governance of the business, including which new coins are added and new technologies invested in.  Investing makes you part of a forward-looking community which will reward that confidence with transparent and robust returns via a smart contract in perpetuity, as long as you hold the Cryptoshares.

The crowdsale runs until June 15th 2018, you can join it here - but almost 50% of the tokens are already sold.
