#中心化与去中心化交易所 CEX vs DEX: Where Should Your Money Go?

Centralized Exchanges (CEX) - like a bank, but wilder!

Platforms like Binance and OKX are the big players, deposits are instant, and trading is smooth, perfect for beginners to dive in! But be careful - your money is actually in the exchange's pocket, and when hackers clean out the place (the Mentougou incident lost 15 billion) or the boss runs away (FTX collapse warning ⚠️), you won’t have time to cry!

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) - your money, your control!

Uniswap and PancakeSwap use smart contracts for automated trading, your private keys in hand, assets are never 'custodied'. But the cost is: slow as a snail (during Ethereum congestion), fees that can make you cry, and beginners might even lose their wallets.
