the crypto realm, exchanges come in two flavors: Centralized (CEX) and Decentralized (DEX). Here's a quick, humorous breakdown:(Encyclopedia Britannica)

CEX (Centralized Exchange): Think of it as a crypto bank. User-friendly, with customer support and fiat compatibility, but you trust them with your funds. Great for beginners who like training wheels.(Encyclopedia Britannica)

DEX (Decentralized Exchange): The wild west of crypto. Peer-to-peer trading with full control over your assets. No middlemen, but also no safety nets. Ideal for those who like living on the edge.

Choose wisely, or better yet, use both!
