#CryptoFees101
Ever made a solid profit on a trade... then looked at the fees and felt like you lost half of it?
Yeah, been there.
Here’s what I learned the hard way:
Maker fees apply when you place a limit order and wait—these are usually cheaper.
Taker fees hit when you buy or sell instantly at market price—faster, but costs more.
Gas fees are network charges, especially high on Ethereum.
Withdrawal fees come into play when moving your crypto off the exchange.
How I cut down on fees now:
I use limit orders for most trades—probably 90% of the time.
When withdrawing, I choose coins with low transfer fees like TRX.
I avoid Ethereum for small transactions unless absolutely necessary.
Fees won’t destroy your profits, but they’ll definitely chip away at them if you’re not paying attention.
