#CryptoFees101
Here’s what to watch out for:
- **Trading Fees:** Charged on every buy or sell. CEXs vary widely, while DEXs often have lower fees (except when gas spikes).
- **Withdrawal Fees:** Some exchanges charge ridiculous amounts just to move your funds. Always check before transferring!
- **Gas Fees:** If you're on Ethereum, gas fees can hit like a wrecking ball. Timing transactions during low activity can save you money.
- **Hidden Fees:** Some platforms sneak in extra costs, like spreads or markups—much like that sneaky “service charge” at restaurants you never asked for.
