Exchange

An exchange is a platform where you buy, sell and trade cryptocurrencies.

It is the crypto equivalent of a broker. Exchanges differ in fees, liquidity, available coins and security. Leaving funds on an exchange is convenient but carries risk (hacks, bankruptcy).

Example

You open an account on an exchange to buy your first bitcoin.
