#Liquidity101 Liquidity in crypto, the fuel for your trades!

Alright, folks, if you're involved in the cryptocurrency scene, there's one word you need to understand: liquidity. It's not a fancy word to show off, it's the key to making your trades go the way you want!

Imagine you want to buy or sell a cryptocurrency. Have you ever found yourself asking for a price and ending up buying/selling at a much worse one? Or that your order takes ages to execute? Well, that's because liquidity was low.

What is liquidity, in plain English?

Think of the market like a fair. If there are a lot of people buying and selling the same thing (lots of "arepas" stands and many people wanting to buy them), it's super easy to buy your arepas at the price you want and get them instantly. There's a lot of "flow".
