Beginner mistake choosing crypto exchange and it cost me more than I expected
One of my biggest beginner mistakes choosing a crypto exchange was only looking at how fast I could sign up.
When I first got into crypto, I picked the first app that looked simple and let me buy quickly. I put in around $120 thinking I was being smart starting small. But later I realized the fees were way higher than I expected, withdrawals were annoying, and half the coins I wanted weren’t even available there.
At the time I thought any exchange was basically the same, so I didn’t really compare stuff like trading fees, withdrawal limits, or how beginner-friendly the layout actually was.
Looking back, that was probably my first real beginner mistake choosing a crypto exchange.
Did anyone else make a similar mistake at the start? What do you check first now before using an exchange?
