homework


1- Explain differences between wallets and exchanges as well as mention which operations should be performed in an Exchange and which operations should be performed in a wallet (in terms of fees).

This question is very easy to understand because both of of the things have different purpose is in the world of cryptocurrency wallet has its on purpose and exchange has its own purpose and they both have different capabilities so so I will try to explain both of them separately then it will be easy for you to understand why we use exchange and why we use wallets

 cryptocurrency exchange


The purpose of exchange is to give you the capability to exchange your coins as the name says exchange so you can exchange any kind of coin   on the cryptocurrency exchange as per is the exchange support that coin you can convert that into other coins you can buy and sell coins on the exchange you can do trading on the exchange and make profit on your coins and there are many other things that you can do on a cryptocurrency exchange and you can also keep all your coins on the exchange because every exchange has its wallet where you can keep the coins


 the main purpose of exchange is to provide you the ability to exchange your coins  we people Pal exchange for and texture now you also get a wallet with your exchange but because exchanges are not that much secure and you can I lose all your assets f something bad happens to your exchange account if it got hacked you can lose all your funds and many other things can happen because it is considered to be a hot wallet with the very low security  that's why you should never keep your coins on Exchange if you are not trading and you are just holding those coins transfer them to a wallet

  cryptocurrency wallet


 cryptocurrency wallet is basically a place where you keep all your cryptocurrency coins wallet has many types but most commonly people use hot wallets because they are very easy to understand very easy to access and use and they are very user-friendly you just need a mobile phone and you just need to download the wallet into your mobile and you can start using it well there are many other types of wallets that you can use if you have a very large amount of cryptocurrency with you and you want to keep them secure then you can use all the other cold wallets which are mostly devices and there are also other types of wallets as well

 the main purpose of a wallet is to keep your coins on a safe site wallets are considered to be more secure than exchanges because they  are designed to be only the coins secure and there is nothing more than that in a wallet so that's why it's more secure

Exchanges are design for the exchanges that's why they have very low fees when we are exchanging power coins and two other coins every exchange has its own fees depending on the liquidity and volume but when  to when we compare this to some wallets as we all know that wallets don't provide the feature of of exchanging coins there are some wallets which provides the feature of swiping your coins to other but the fees is very high and that's why you should never do that and you should always perform the exchange on your exchange because it is designed to do that and the fee is very low on Exchange otherwise if you do that same thing on a wall at it will cost you way more than that so always try to exchange your coins were there and keep your coins in a wallet

2- In your own words, Why You think people should have more than one exchange account?. Do you have an exchange account? and Why that specifically?

I think that people should have more than one exchange account because there  so many reasons that I can give you

1  recently binance has been banned in UK due to some reasons now if someone has only one exchange they can get into a problem if they are regular trader they can't read anymore and that can cause that person a huge loss because for a trader every second is important so if you have many different accounts you can transfer your funds to that other exchange and you can do your trading smoothly until the problem is solved

2  many exchanges have very high   exchange fees sweat you have many exchange is you can have many options and which one is providing a good peace exchange you can choose that one and do your exchanges on that one as we all know that the change is keep happening with the price and with the fees as well so you can choose the best one for yourself and that's why you should have many options when it comes to exchanges

3 In the beginning I have faced many problem and I was only using one exchange binance and I had to face the problem of maintenance I tried to transfer some coins and to the exchange and at that time it was very necessary because the price was high and I wanted to change the coins but I couldn't because there was some maintenance issue going on on the exchange and I couldn't transfer and deposit the coins now if at that time I learn this that you must have many exchanges so that you can do all your job and don't depend on just one exchange

4  suppose if I exchange got hacked and all your friends are on that exchange it's gone and you can't do anything about that so what you should do you should have many exchanges and you should do trading on different exchanges for different coins that will also help you to secure your funds

Do you have an exchange account? and Why that specifically?

Yes  I have an exchange account and I have been using that since many months now well to be honest I have many exchange account now I have learnt my lesson few months ago the first exchange That I Used was -1 and still using that and with the combination I am using poloniex  as well I am using both of them but the primary one is poloniex 

 I use poloniex  exchange because I had faced many problems in the past with the binance and since then I have converted to use this exchange and I have been using this is changed since many months now and I had no problem with the interest or anything else just iron using this exchange because there is no maintenance issue with this exchange since I have been using this and there is no no she is issued there is no liquidity issue and it's very easy to use as well  can I get all the pairs that I want with - I had some issues with the fair that I wanted was not available on that it changes well for example  steem/usdt  so that is also one of the reasons why I am using this exchange

3- What are better? Wallets or exchanges.?


Well first of all let me clarify that that both of these things has different purposes and you can never compare both of them with each other as both of them provides different services wallets has its own importance and exchange has its own importance in the  cryptocurrency ecosystem  but if we talk about which one is better feature and which one provides more services than I can say that  exchange has multi purpose and exchange is better than a wallet because exchange provides you the ability of exchanging your coins and as well is a wallet so you don't really need a wallet to keep your coins if you are day to day trade here or you are just a beginner and you want to do some thing with your exchange so you don't even need a wallet so I would say exchange is better when it comes to the capability of both of name

 in exchange you can keep your coins as well as you can send it to somebody else very quickly e you can exchange those coins very quickly E and exchange is more faster than our wallet soyes exchange will be my choice exchange is better than a wallet
