I know some crypto enthusiasts/crypto geeks have a downer on exchanges, and I see why. “Not your keys, not your coins”. That’s true. It is also true that wallets are more complicated to handle and hardware wallets are even more complex. Plus, an exchange give you flexibility in case you wanna buy/sell coins faster.

Ordinarily, I’d go ahead and tell you I use this or that exchange and overtly embed referral links - not a crime, we’ve all been there - but since I’m only genuinely interested in learning more about it, I won’t. I’m just gonna ask, which specific exchange(s) do you normally use?

I use Wirex, because that’s the one I started with; Coinbase, because in my opinion it is super easy to use and user-friendly and Binance, because it’s a good compromise between an easy-to-use, no-nonsense exchange, and a platform that gives you access to other things such as staking.

What do you think?
