DEX vs CEX: The Truth You Wish Someone Told You Earlier
“Never hold your tokens on a DEX. Keep them on a CEX.”
Sounds harsh? Here’s why it makes sense:
1. On a DEX, you’re on your own.
Lose your wallet? Bye-bye tokens.
Forget your seed phrase? No one’s coming to help.
There’s no reset button, no support ticket just vibes and risk.
2. On a CEX, you’ve got backup.
📍Forgot your password? Recoverable.
📍Need help? Support is one click away.
📍Plus: 2FA, emails, device alerts.
It’s beginner-friendly. Safe enough until you level up.
Yes, DEXs are more decentralized.
But if you don’t fully understand self-custody, keys, phishing traps, and recovery strategies…
You’re just one mistake away from losing everything.
So the hard truth is this:
If you’re still learning, keep your tokens on a trusted CEX.
Security isn’t a vibe — it’s a skillset.
