Support us with crypto to keep our newspaper alive
Many users may wonder if they can develop a web platform or app on their own that allows them to exchange cryptocurrencies on their own, without using the services of a company. However, it is not as simple as some think. In fact, it may be easier to set up a company that sells candy or other products, rather than build an Exchange.
At a technical level, there are many barriers that can prevent the realization of a company dedicated to the exchange of cryptocurrencies. You just have to see the work involved in making an exchange agency, with everything and that some only focus on fiduciary or conventional currencies. Specifically, anyone who wants to have their own Exchange should have a solid website, hosted by a reliable hosting service. In addition, you need the website to have an attractive and easy-to-use user interface, apart from the functions that allow the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies, such as the use of wallets, anti-hacking security, the protocol to secure each transaction, the tools panel, customization options, among others.
Approximately how much capital is needed to create a cryptocurrency exchange?
As you might think, the amount of resources needed to carry out a project of this type is in the thousands of dollars. In certain cases, it can exceed millions, which automatically rules out a large part of the population (especially those who live from day to day). The main reason is that each company needs to have an insured amount, to respond to their clients, in case of any inconvenience. Now, it is not worth worrying about this issue, it is possible to enter Bitcoin Trader and see in detail what they propose on their platform. Back to the subject of creating an Exchange, if someone has a personal dream of having one of their own anyway, they could partner with other people or companies and evaluate their possibilities. Of course, you must offer something in return, so that other corporations see the benefit of associating. The monetary scale of businesses that move many resources is not the same as that of small stores, both in expenses and income. To get a little orientation, it is possible to consult how capitalism is related to cryptocurrencies, as detailed in this interview.
What theoretical aspects should be known?
As much as a group or an individual has the ability to build an Exchange, it is highly recommended that you investigate the theory related to cryptocurrencies. In addition to being able to distinguish the types of Exchanges (centralized and decentralized), the most common ways of operating that they use, the marketing and advertising of these companies, the financial tools that must be offered to users, the analysis of costs and benefits and much more. Some people have chosen to link an Exchange to an existing cloud storage service; It is up to each person to determine if they are going to work like this. Also, an Exchange does not work with a single person, for all the activities involved in the day to day of the company. Therefore, It must have a work team made up of professionals of various kinds. One may handle customer support, another handle advertising, and an additional one handle IT for the website. It is worth saying that this is an exaggerated simplification of the daily operation of an Exchange for didactic purposes since normally the tasks are much more complex.
