I went through the same learning curve. At some point I stopped trusting a single exchange and started checking https://obmify.com/ before making swaps. I don’t use it to exchange directly, but more to see what services are available and how their rates look at that moment. It helped me avoid overpaying and also gave me more confidence in my choices. Especially when you’re not exchanging every day, having a clear overview makes a big difference.

Good point. I don’t trade actively, but even occasional exchanges make me double-think everything. Crypto already feels risky enough, so anything that reduces uncertainty is helpful. Reading how others build their own routines is useful because it shows there’s no rush if you don’t create one yourself.
