CEX vs DEX đ„ The Ultimate Crypto Showdown
CEX = Centralized Exchange
đ„ Run by companies (e.g. Binance, Coinbase)
⥠Fast, easy to use, fiat-friendly
đ But⊠you donât own your crypto (they do)
đ”ïž KYC required, risk of hacks & freezes
DEX = Decentralized Exchange
đ Built on blockchain (e.g. Uniswap, PancakeSwap)
đ You own your keys, your crypto, your rules
đ¶ No KYC, more privacy, full control
đž But⊠slower, gas fees, tricky UI
When to use CEX:
đł Buying with cash
đ± Easy for beginners
đ Big trades, high liquidity
đŻ Want staking, margin, support
When to use DEX:
đ§ You know your way around wallets
đ”ïž You want privacy & self-custody
đ Youâre chasing new tokens before they hit CEXs
đ€ You vibe with decentralization
My Take:
Use CEX to get in/out of crypto.
Use DEX to trade & hold long-term.
đ Best of both worlds.
CEX = Convenience. DEX = Freedom.
