CEX vs. DEX: What’s Your Move? 🎯
In crypto, every trader picks a side—
Are you Team Platform or Team Protocol?
⚙️ Centralized Exchanges (CEX) — Think Binance, Coinbase
✅ Plug & play convenience
✅ Deep liquidity pools
✅ Human support when things go sideways
❌ But...not your keys, not your crypto
🛠️ Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) — Think Uniswap, PancakeSwap
✅ Your wallet, your rules
✅ Trade anytime, anywhere
✅ No signups, no gatekeepers
❌ But there's a steeper learning curve
🧭 Quick Guide:
Use a CEX if you want speed, ease, and handholding.
Choose a DEX if you value freedom, privacy, and self-custody.
So ask yourself:
🔒 Do you rely on trust?
📜 Or do you rely on code?
