🚨 CEX or DEX? Most new traders pick without knowing the *real* tradeoffs.
I’ve used both — and here's my honest breakdown after 2 years in the space.
👇
🟦 CEX (Centralized Exchanges):
+ Easy to use (esp. for beginners)
+ High liquidity = fast execution
+ Customer support if things go wrong
- You don’t fully control your funds
- Subject to regulations & freezes
🟨 DEX (Decentralized Exchanges):
+ Total control of your crypto
+ Often better for privacy
+ Access to early/gem tokens
- Higher risk of mistakes
- Sometimes lower liquidity & complex UI
📌 My strategy?
I use **CEX (like Binance)** for main trades & security
→ But **DEX** for early altcoins and quick swaps when gas is low
💡 Pro Tip:
New to DEX? Double-check smart contract addresses. Always.
