Yesterday at the Zerakulll Academy, we discussed blockchain — our transparent digital notebook. Today it's time to decide: where will you keep your signature in this notebook? The choice between CEX and DEX is a balance between convenience and complete freedom.
🏛️ CEX (Centralized Exchange) — Your Crypto Bank
Example: Binance. It is a large platform that takes care of your money.
Pros:
✅ It's simple: You buy crypto directly with your card for hryvnias.
✅ Protection: If you forget your password, support will help you recover it.
✅ Additional income: You can put coins under interest (Earn) directly on the exchange.
Minus: You do not own the "keys" to the wallet. If something happens to the exchange — your assets are at risk.
⛓️ DEX (Decentralized Exchange) — Your Safe
Example: Trust Wallet or PancakeSwap exchange.
Pros:
✅ Full ownership: Only you know the 12 words (Seed phrase). As they say in crypto: "Not your keys, not your coins".
✅ Anonymity: No one knows whose wallet this is.
Minus: All responsibility is on you. Lost 12 words — lost money forever. Support does not exist.
💡 Tip from Zerakulll:
I recommend beginners to start with CEX (Binance) to learn to trade without the risk of losing access to the wallet due to one mistake. And then transfer large amounts for long-term storage to your own wallets over time.
📝 Homework:
Where are you currently storing your first assets?
On the exchange (Binance).
On your own wallet.
I'm just about to buy.
