As a student with a $500 portfolio, Ethereum’s $50 fees were unsustainable. Switching to BSC let me:
- Farm CAKE for 7% APY (PancakeSwap Auto Pool).
- Trade tokens like FLOKI with $0.10 fees.
- Track all trades on BscScan for free.
Drawback: Rug pulls. My rule—only invest in projects audited by CertiK (e.g., Venus Protocol).
