What’s the Difference
Whether you’re new to crypto or brushing up, here’s a quick dive into Centralized Exchanges (CEX) vs. Decentralized Exchanges (DEX):
🏛️ CEX (e.g., Binance)
✅ User-friendly
✅ High liquidity
✅ Fast transactions
❌ Requires KYC
❌ Funds controlled by the platform
🌐 DEX (e.g., Uniswap)
✅ You control your keys
✅ No KYC
✅ Great for privacy
❌ Slower, higher gas fees
❌ Lower liquidity
🎯 My Take:
CEXs are great for beginners and quick trades. But for those who prioritize privacy and decentralization, DEXs are the way to go. Personally, I use both depending on the need.
