🔄 #CEXvsDEX101 – Choosing the Right Exchange
Centralized (CEX) or Decentralized (DEX)? 🤔 Your choice can impact your trading experience big time! Let’s break it down 👇
🏛️ CEX (Centralized Exchange)
✅ Easy to use
✅ High liquidity & fast trades
❌ You don’t hold your keys
❌ Can be more vulnerable to hacks & downtime
🌐 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
✅ Full control of your assets 🔐
✅ Typically no KYC
❌ Slower, less intuitive UI
❌ Liquidity can vary
⚖️ My take?
🔸 I use CEXs for quick, large trades or when I need fiat on/off ramps
🔸 I go DEX when I want privacy, control, or to trade niche tokens
💡 Tips for DEX beginners:
🔐 Always double-check contract addresses
📲 Use a trusted wallet like MetaMask
⚠️ Start with small amounts to learn safely
