#CEXvsDEX101 💥 #CEXvsDEX101 – Welcome to the ring where the disguised banker and the faceless dealer fight
Do you want to know which is better, a CEX or a DEX? Well, sit down, hold onto your balls (or your soul), because this is not an economics class, it’s a dirty fight, full of betrayal, gas fees, and broken promises.

🏛️ CEX: The elegant guy who shakes your hand… while emptying your pockets with the other
CEXs (Centralized Exchanges) are like that ex who treats you well while you’re with him, but as soon as you suspect something is wrong… bam! They freeze your account, ask for a selfie with your cat, and tell you it’s "for your safety".
Things CEXs love:
Holding your crypto “for your own good” (just like your mother-in-law with your salary).
Pulling an “unexpected maintenance” when the market explodes.
Telling you “it’s not you, it’s the liquidity.”
But hey, they have pretty buttons, 24/7 support with generic responses, and even raffles you never win. Pure centralized love!

🌪️ DEX: The dark alley where you do business without names, but with style
DEXs (Decentralized Exchanges) are like those unlicensed bars: everything is anonymous, dangerous, and delicious. There are no bosses, no support tickets… and if you make a mistake, the blockchain doesn’t forgive. There’s no “recover password” here, buddy.
Things that define a DEX:
No one asks who you are (like when you sell arepas without registration).
You control your key. If you lose it, well, may your tokens rest in peace.
The fees are sometimes so high that it seems Ethereum thinks you are a millionaire.
But freedom tastes glorious… until you make a swap by mistake and end up with a token worth less than a politician's respect.

🤡 So… which one to choose?
If you like the security of a possessive mom telling you what to do, go with a CEX.
If you prefer to walk with your crypto like a sexy fugitive with no rules, the DEX is your neighborhood.
Just remember: both can screw you over if you don’t know what you’re doing. So study, test, and don’t think you’re the wisest just because you watched a TikTok.
