🔄 #CEXvsDEX101 – Which One’s Right for You?

When it comes to crypto trading, you’ve got two main battlegrounds: Centralized Exchanges (CEX) vs Decentralized Exchanges (DEX). Each has its own strengths — let’s break it down:

🏛️ CEX (Centralized Exchange)

Think Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken. These platforms act as middlemen, offering:

• ✅ Easy-to-use interfaces

• 🚀 Fast transactions

• 🛡️ Custodial security + support

But… they require KYC, and you don’t hold your private keys.

🌐 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)

Think Uniswap, PancakeSwap, or dYdX. Fully on-chain, permissionless trading where:

• 🔐 You hold your keys

• 🌍 Anyone can trade anytime

• 🤝 Peer-to-peer, no intermediaries

However, DEXs often come with higher gas fees, slippage, and limited customer support.

⚖️ So, CEX or DEX?

• Use CEXs for speed, liquidity, and ease

• Use DEXs for self-custody, privacy, and innovation

🚨 Pro Tip: Many traders use both, depending on the asset, strategy, and need for control.
