#CryptoFees101 Maker vs. Taker Fees: The Trading Dance

Here's how this plays out in practice: If Bitcoin trades at $100,000 and I place a limit order to buy at $99,900, I'm a "maker" adding liquidity. On Binance, this costs just 0.1%. But if I hit the "buy with Market price" button at $100,000, I'm a "taker" paying 0.15%. On a $1,000 trade, that's the difference between $1 and $1.50—small amounts that compound quickly.
