💸 **CryptoFees 101: What Are You *Really* Paying For?** 🔍💡
Think crypto trading is free? Think again. Welcome to **CryptoFees 101** — where every swap, send, or stake comes with a hidden cost.
Here’s the breakdown:
🔁 **Trading Fees** – Exchanges like Binance or Coinbase charge a **maker/taker fee** (usually 0.1%–0.5%) on every trade. Pro tip: Holding native tokens like BNB can give you discounts.
⛓️ **Network Fees (Gas Fees)** – On blockchains like Ethereum, you’ll pay **gas fees** for any transaction. These can spike during congestion, so timing is everything.
💼 **Withdrawal Fees** – Moving your crypto to a wallet? Many platforms charge a flat **withdrawal fee**, especially for coins like BTC or ETH.
📉 **Slippage** – Not a “fee” per se, but if the market moves while your trade processes, you could lose value — that’s slippage.
Want to save more? Use **Layer 2s**, choose low-fee tokens, and always double-check before clicking "confirm."
Your profits are yours — don’t give them away in fees. 🧠🔐
