💸 Crypto Fees 101: Where Does Your Money Go? 🤔
Before you hit "send" on that crypto transaction, know this: fees matter.
Here’s a quick breakdown 🧠👇
🔹 Network Fees (Gas Fees)
Paid to miners/validators to process your transaction.
📌 ETH = Gas
📌 BTC = Miner fee
⛽ Tip: Fees rise when networks are congested.
🔹 Exchange Fees
Centralized exchanges (like Binance, Coinbase) charge:
✅ Trading fees (buy/sell)
✅ Withdrawal fees
✅ Sometimes even deposit fees!
🔹 Slippage
Not a “fee,” but still costs you.
It’s the difference between expected & executed price, especially in volatile markets or low liquidity.
📊 How to Save on Fees:
✅ Trade during low-traffic times
✅ Use Layer 2 solutions (like Arbitrum, Polygon)
✅ Compare exchange rates
✅ Don’t forget those hidden costs!
Crypto isn't free—but smart users don’t overpay. 🧠💼
