task asked to cover
Decentralized and Centralized Exchanges,How to use uniswap,best Cryptocurrency Exchanges of 2021
I’ll start my post today by explaining what centralized exchange means as related to cryptocurrency.
It’s understood that a centralized exchange is the type of exchange that gives room for users to buy and sell their asset. It always an online platform, in centralized exchange, your asset is no longer in your power rather is managed by the exchange. Also you do not have access to the private key of your account wallets. This is to say that as a trader trading with centralized exchange your trust is the exchange operator because your transactions can be made only through the process that the central authority accepts.
As a user of centralized exchange you have to adhere to the rules that is required by the exchange, in other words centered exchange act as negotiator between those who is selling and buying as this process enables them to make money from the transaction fee. Centralized exchange offers trading trading opportunity to trade your token for other asset, digital currency and fiat.
Having known what centralized exchange is let know what a decentralized exchange means also
In few words decentralized exchange has no central authority its users decide what happens. It doesn’t give room for middle man ie eliminate third parties as its give you the freedom to do business. In decentralized exchange their is no trading of fiat or asset to other asset it only allows peer to peer transaction.
I’ll talk about some few differences between this two type of exchange
centralized exchange is easy to use (users friendly for those starting crypto journey new) while decentralized exchange is difficult to use.
centralized exchange here the central authority makes decisions for its users while decentralized exchange their is no central authority every body make decisions on their own
in centralized exchange you don’t have access to the private key of you account wallet and your asset is totally in control of the exchange operators. While In decentralized you have your private key shown to you at the account opening and your advice to keep it save, your in totally control of your assets
harking risk is high in centralized exchange because of the customer asset which they hold make them to be hackers target. While in decentralized it is very difficult to be hacked because of the different connected computers which is very difficult to crash all.
before you use a centralized exchange you have to very your self it’s said to be KYC know your customers. While a decentralized exchange offer anonymity to its users.
write about any 2 best centralised exchanges of 2021 . why are they best in front of you? (Show screenshot of your verified profile to make verify that you are really using them, or also share any one trade that you made in last 24 hours )
As a crypto trader I have used so many decentralized and centralized exchange to trade my asset but among all I chose binance and roqqu to be my best
Why I choose binance
Binance is an exchange is used across border by traders this exchange has made it essay for its users to use binance you have to verify your self first by putting your valid documents and a facial identity. Also binance is my best because of the varieties of coin it offers to trade with also the p2p market is awesome while dealing with some one in the p2p market for instance I’m buying so binance will freeze the seller coin incase he receives my money and refused in sending the coin binance will release the coin to me and rate the person low for people to be scared of doing business with him/her this is just to reduce scam and it’s very nice. Also they have well customer service as they listen to your complain and resolve your issues quickly it all good to use binance.
Below are few transaction history done with binance
My second best exchange is roqqu. It’s a Nigerian based exchange with its headquarters located at logos Nigeria it’s is reliable to use also before you can use roqqu you have to verify your self to increase your wallet limit they have good response team as the provide a chart intercom to lay your complain and the issue will be resolved immediately
complained laid and issue was resolved
Also I can transfer my steem from my steemit wallet to my roqqu wallet via the name roqqulovesteem and my memo here are some transactions from my steemit wallet to roqqu wallet.
Also here are some transaction history done inside the app for some months but stoped due to the cryptocurrency ban placed on these exchange by central bank of nigeria
That the few transactions I did before government placed a ban on cryptocurrency in Nigeria that is to say they are reliable few time I used them thanks!!
