2️⃣ CEX vs DEX FEE WAR:

CEX (e.g., Binance):
✅ Low trading fees (0.1% with BNB)
❌ High withdrawal fees + KYC overhead

DEX (e.g., Uniswap):
✅ No withdrawal fees (self-custody)
❌ Gas fees + slippage can hit 10%+

3️⃣ GAS FEE HACKS:

⏰ Time It: Trade when chain activity is low (check GasTracker).

🐢 Use L2s: Arbitrum, Polygon cut fees by 90% (e.g., Uniswap on Polygon).

🔥 Batch Txns: Do multiple actions in one transaction (e.g., DeFi "zaps").

4️⃣ PRO FEE-SLAYING TACTICS:

Binance BNB Discount: Hold BNB → pay 25% less trading fees.

DEX Aggregators: Use 1inch or Matcha to find lowest slippage.

Limit Orders: Avoid slippage on CEXs.

Native Withdrawals: Send coins on cheap networks (e.g., USDT via TRON, not ERC-20).

☕ REALITY CHECK:

*"A $100 trade with 0.5% fees + $15 gas + slippage? You lose $20 before it even pumps. Trade bigger or don’t trade."*
