#CEXvsDEX101 Choosing between a CEX and DEX depends on your priorities. Centralized exchanges offer speed, high liquidity, and ease of use—ideal for beginners or active traders. But they require trust in a third party and can be vulnerable to hacks. Decentralized exchanges give you full control of your funds and privacy, but may suffer from low liquidity or higher fees. I use CEXs for quick trades and DEXs for long-tail assets or DeFi projects. New to DEXs? Start small, double-check token contracts, and be wary of slippage. #CEXvsDEX10
