Digital currencies, the most important question remains: do you choose to trade on centralized (CEX) or decentralized (DEX) platforms?
Each type of platform has its advantages and challenges, and your choice can make a big difference in your investment experience.
✅ Centralized platforms (CEX): convenience and liquidity
Examples: Binance, Coinbase
Pros:
User-friendly interfaces for beginners
High execution speed
Direct technical support
High liquidity and a variety of currencies
Cons:
Need for identity verification (KYC)
Reliance on a third party to hold funds
Vulnerable to hacks if security is not strong
🔓 Decentralized platforms (DEX): freedom and control
Examples: Uniswap, PancakeSwap
Pros:
Full control over your wallet and assets
High privacy and no need for KYC
Direct trading on the blockchain
Cons:
Can be difficult for beginners
High gas fees sometimes
Less liquidity for some currencies
🧠 When to use each one?
Use CEX when you need speed of execution, or if you are a beginner and need an easy experience.
Use DEX if you are looking for privacy, complete control over your funds, or want to access new projects in their early stages.
🎯 Summary
The choice between CEX and DEX is not just a preference, but a strategy based on your goals in the market. Consider your level of expertise, the size of your trades, and the level of risk you are willing to accept.
