Bonus disappeared!
So before someday, I signed up on phemex and opened my account. I got the $10 bonus. I used it today to make just a dollar (as I'm new in perpetual future trading). So I transferred the available balance of $1 to my spot wallet and surprisingly my bonus disappeared from the futures wallet. Now I can't even withdraw the $1 as there's a minimum of $2 required. Very disappointed with the disappearance of my bonuses. I won't prefer it.

High withdrawal fees
The withdrawal fees for BTC and ETH are quite high but so far so good.

Danger! READ!
Ok thank goodness I’m going to be straight forward! Beware! If your not too smart and dont know much about the stock exchange market you will definitely loose all your money you put into it!!!! So please dont do something such as, buying crypto contracts if you dont know what on earth your doing because you will make some money and/or for sure loose all your money!!!!
So dont be a smartass and say its not your fault when you lose your pwn money by being a show off.... plus customer service is great and very useful,
Caution! Beware people with brains that think your too smart and try too hard, you will never realize how easy it is to click on the live support chat
you will end up getting mad and feel like a person who is Talking to a robot, dont get hot headed, sure
Well with that over i say its well designed! Like all new skills you want to learn, their system i say its complicated. Got me hooked and started staring at charts as if i was making a dollar start adding zeros.... you see my dollar didnt turn into zeros, it started adding zeros behind it instead..
.there’s videos to learn and earn real money! what is given or i say earned by learning impressive.....when self taught , like me myself and i,
everything is fascinating

Investor beware do not put your money in Phemex you will not get a bonus if you were promised customer service is nonexistent you can get someone on chat all they will do is keep emailing you links for you to read stuff that is supposed to solve the problem that you’ve already read 100 times and have it printed off and laying beside of you then act like they really done something and they will not let you withdraw your money it takes you round in circles there is no way to move it out you can move it from one account to another inside the platform which you cannot move it out you cannot transfer it to your bank you cannot transfer it to another platform they hold it hostage so put it in at your own risk it is a scam I have never seen anything like it in my life is the worst platform you can ever imagine

DO NOT USE! Update!
In the time since I wrote the following review my account has been restored and have received 40 USD. The rest...you decide...
I tried it out. Used the 10 USD bonus. Even made a few withdrawals. But in the end they said I tried to get the bonus again and closed my account I'm still waiting for the rest of my BTC to be returned to me. They told me it would be the end of the next quarter but I haven't seen anything. First of all why would I even have the option to click on a stupid 10 USD bonus for a second time and 2 where is my money. This is outright theft.
DO NOT USE THIS EXCHANGE!
Only thing they excha get is your money to their money.

What a fraudulent company
What a fraudulent company. When I deposited my profit for withdrawal they blocked my account. I can't assess my account anymore. After all my money I invested. Really wicked human beings. With all the difficulties in the country going on. Never you put your money on Phemex. When I tried calling it was scammers.

Unstable platform and support can't (won't) solve my case and play for time!
Unstable platform and support can't (won't) solve my case and play for time!
Phemex is extremely unstable every time during turbulent markets or times. This means that the platform often hangs for a long time and you cannot act quickly enough in critical situations. The result: LOSSES!
The support is friendly but not really solution-oriented! I closed a trade with a profit, but the profit was not credited to the PNL and balance. I have now written the support 3 times and after each cover letter I am just delayed and empty promises are made. But the case was not solved! I've been waiting several weeks but still haven't received a credit.
In my eyes, Phemex is dubious and suggests SCAM and fraud.
In the meantime I have left this platform and will delete the account there. I'm going back to bybit.com
ADDENDUM 1.12.2021: In the meantime, the support has actually contacted me again. I still haven't received the missing amount, but at least part of it has been given to me in the form of a bonus. Better than nothing. I started trading on phemex again, but initially only with very small amounts. I do bigger trades at bybit.com. So Phemex will use the small amounts to monitor whether there are still unstable situations, especially when the market is highly volatile. If Phemex proves to be stable in the future, then I will also trade larger positions. So I'm increasing my rating from 2 to 3 stars for the current status.

Best Scammer Award for 2021 goes to Phemex
They are the best scammers. Please nevwr put your money by mistake also. They locked my account saying i have more than one account. When they asked to provide KYC docs which i have already submitted its being 1 month and no response from their email or chat support. Stay away guys from such scammers...

So-so platform and terrible support
Platform is painfully vanilla and mobile application practically unusable. Execution is dependable and slippage is minimal.
Couldn't hold up during the big crash in May 21', but that was not limited to them so not a big negative.
They run multiple gotcha promotions with poor T&Cs to fark with you, best avoided. Their withdrawal system is antiquated which is the biggest negative and a big no-no for me.
Support is outsourced to some third party schmuck who has no idea how to help you and simple cuts and pastes from their website. Practically non-existent.
Best avoided, there are many better options out there.

Worse then the tax system
The Platform is nearly perfect, but the fact that you cant withdraw your money, without using another platform is ridiculous.
I made a smaller deposit, as i wanted to try it out, but when i wanted to cash out, i was told that you have to make a deposit greater then 500 dollars to get your money withdrawed to the bank, otherwise they are stuck as cryptovaluta unless i go to someone else and make ONE MORE trading profile and then transfer to them, so they can put my money back in the bank.
If only it was SO DAMN HARD when we had to give them money, people would never spend a dime that way!..But apparently taking money is much easier.

DON'T USE !!! LOCKED MY ACCOUNT WITH NO EXPLANATION

Phemex is a scam
Phemex is a scam. My money which I transferred there disappeared after i hadn’t logged into my account in more than a month. I have been given no explanation about why my money has disappeared. Fortunately I can afford to lose that kind of money but this situation would break most people. Don’t use phemex. It’s terrible.

Biggest Scam of 2021 phemex
From my personal experience,I would say this is the Best scam of 2021. I started trading in the platform and earned few $, at the time of withdrawal they freeze my fund. They told me I need to perform KYC inorder to unlock the fund. But after I submitted my Documents for kyc they locked my account. I tried contacting support care via email and official chat but the response was worst all they say is it will take time. I've been contacting for the past 4 day but nothing changed. So if you guys are thinking of trying this platform think twice and search more on the internet before investing.

Terrible experience trading - possibly the worst platform in existence.
Terrible experience trading. I have lost thousands on this site over the past few days. Trading is manipulated by admins. If you open a position, suddenly the markets stop and shoot in the other directly. I’ve been trading for 6 years. This place is marketed as “no fee” that’s a total misrepresentation. There are boatloads of fees on top of the membership fee you pay. It’s all a joke. Would I recommend Phemex? Not even to my worst enemy. You have been warned. Don’t make the same mistake I have. No thanks.

Cryptocurrencies and digital assets
Cryptocurrencies and digital assets
Simply put, cryptocurrencies are a virtual form of money. Or in a way, it can be said that there are different types of virtual currencies that are designed using cryptographic technology. As a result, we often refer to it as virtual money or digital assets.
In a more complete definition of cryptocurrencies, it can be said that cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that are controlled by a number of encryption algorithms to generate them and perform transactions such as transfers. Cryptographers usually work decentrally, without any affiliation with banks, and can be used in a variety of contexts.
The remarkable features of the cryptocurrencies - observed by Satoshi Nakomoto in 2009 - allow us to make a variety of instant, secure, cheap and anonymous transactions. All of these amazing features are the result of cryptocurrencies, the core technology of cryptocurrencies, which allows for non-retrofitting and general office tampering.
There are many exchanges that compete with each other. One of them is Phemex, which is the best. There are many reasons such as security, simplicity, popularity and practicality. Phemex provides a simple platform for the customer with zero feefs for spot trading.
