#CryptoFees101 #CryptoFees101 explains the costs associated with cryptocurrency transactions. Primarily, these are network fees, also known as "gas fees" on Ethereum or "Tx fees" on Bitcoin. These compensate miners/validators for processing and securing the blockchain, varying based on network congestion and transaction complexity. Higher fees often mean faster confirmation.

Beyond network fees, exchange fees are common. These include:

* Maker fees: For orders that add liquidity (e.g., limit orders).

* Taker fees: For orders that remove liquidity (e.g., market orders).

* Withdrawal/Deposit fees: Charges for moving crypto in/out of an exchange.

Understanding and managing these fees is crucial to optimize profits, especially for frequent traders. Factors like network choice, transaction timing, and using limit orders can help reduce costs.
