Hello everyone
I'm very delighted to submit my home work which is based on how to setup an account on cryptocurrency exchange by erudite professor @besticofinder.

INTRODUCTION

A cryptocurrency exchange, or a digital currency exchange (DCE), is a business that allows customers to trade cryptocurrencies or digital currencies for other assets, such as conventional fiat money or other digital currencies. Exchanges may accept credit card payments, wire transfers or other forms of payment in exchange for digital currencies or cryptocurrencies. A cryptocurrency exchange can be a market maker that typically takes the bid–ask spreads as a transaction commission for is service or, as a matching platform, simply charges fees.source

However, Cryptocurrencies exchange is a market where all digital coins are sold or bought. These markets or platform are electronically media which some are centralized and other are decentralized. We have many platforms like Binance, Coinbase Pro, Kraken, Bitfinex, Bithumb, KuCoin, Bitstamp, Bittrex, OKEx, Poloniex, Coinone etc. We will focus on: POLONIEX

WHAT IS POLONIEX?

Poloniex is a cryptocurrency exchange that was first launched in 2014 by Tristan D'Agosta. The company's offices are located in Delaware in the U.S., meaning that they operate in a highly regulated nation. Poloniex allows users to buy, trade and sell lots of different cryptocurrencies, which includes popular coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as less popular ones too. The exchange is very popular, with daily trading volumes of more than $100 million! They make their money by charging a fee on everyday trade that is made through their platform, which both the buyer and seller must pay.Source

Poloniex is very reliable and safe although suffering cyber attack once in 2014 but after that have redesign and expanded to handle more trading volumes. It has a very reasonable trading fee which has increased and a very large amounts of liquidity which reduces the risks of volatility.

HOW CAN I USE POLONIEX: CREATING ACCOUNT

To create a valid account is the first step to start with Poloniex. After creating an account, a digital wallet, passwords etc are provided for the user. To create account follow these steps;
Click on signup buttom
After clicking on the signup buttom, signup page will open with dialogue box where an email address will be provided as showed in my screenshot above.
Strong Password
There is a box provided for password to be used. It is better to use alphanumeric and even with symbols to make the passwords stronger. When the password is strong, it will be very hard for hackers and thereby protect the account.
Email Verification
An email will be sent to the provided email address for verification and confirming it on the mailbox means that the account has been created and valid.

Since I want to deposit Bitcoin cash, I will look for it and select it. A page will appear with a unique deposit address as show below;

This BCH address is very perculiar to Bitcoin cash and therefore will only be used for it and not for any other coins.
The address is copied and used to transfer the volume of Bitcoin Cash that is needed to be deposited successfully.

HOW CAN I USE POLONIEX: WITHDRAWAL

However, there is a serious need for withdrawal of coins as same as the deposit of coins. The process looks similar with the deposit. To withdraw digital assets, follow these step;
CLICK ON WITHDRAW

Click on the withdraw buttom as show above. After that a list of default coins will only appear for selection of the choiced coin. I want to withdraw STEEM, I will select STEEM. Default coins are those coins where one have coins to withdraw from. Look at the screenshot below to understand more.
