Hey everyone! I’m planning to start crypto trading and trying to pick the best platform to kick off with. I’m looking at Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, and I recently came across something called TradeUp — haven’t heard much about it though. Would love to get real opinions to figure out what’s beginner-friendly.
Binance seems popular with lots of tools, but I heard it can be a bit overwhelming at first. OKX and Coinbase look simpler, but I’m not sure about their fees. Kraken is supposed to be solid, though I haven’t used it yet. TradeUp.net caught my eye because of some cool loyalty programs, but there aren’t many reviews online. Anyone got experience, especially with TradeUp or something similar?
Speaking frankly all of those exchange you mentioned have loyalty program. From launchpools, alpha, presales, etc. So the feature you mentioned isn't something special and those event from big exchange doesn't only happen once in a while, it happens every time there is new listing.
I would recommend to just use the one that's reputable. We are talking about money in a 3rd party custody here, you don't want things like ftx to play out again because if you're dealing with 3rd rate exchange you're more likely to lose your money instead of getting reimbursement like ftx.
It's always better to use tier 1 exchange.
