CEX vs DEX ๐ฅ The Ultimate Crypto Showdown
CEX = Centralized Exchange
๐ฅ Run by companies (e.g. Binance, Coinbase)
โก Fast, easy to use, fiat-friendly
๐ Butโฆ you donโt own your crypto (they do)
๐ต๏ธ KYC required, risk of hacks & freezes
DEX = Decentralized Exchange
๐ Built on blockchain (e.g. Uniswap, PancakeSwap)
๐ You own your keys, your crypto, your rules
๐ถ No KYC, more privacy, full control
๐ธ Butโฆ slower, gas fees, tricky UI
When to use CEX:
๐ณ Buying with cash
๐ฑ Easy for beginners
๐ Big trades, high liquidity
๐ฏ Want staking, margin, support
When to use DEX:
๐ง You know your way around wallets
๐ต๏ธ You want privacy & self-custody
๐ Youโre chasing new tokens before they hit CEXs
๐ค You vibe with decentralization
My Take:
Use CEX to get in/out of crypto.
Use DEX to trade & hold long-term.
๐ Best of both worlds.
CEX = Convenience. DEX = Freedom.
