How can a beginner understand that a cryptocurrency exchange service is reliable?

Lately I’ve been exchanging crypto more often than usual, and I realized how easy it is to get confused if you don’t slow down. Rates change fast, fees aren’t always obvious, and sometimes you only notice small details after the transaction is done. A few weeks ago I rushed an exchange and later understood I could’ve chosen a better option if I had compared things properly. Now I’m trying to change my approach and be more careful. Curious how others deal with this — do you have a routine before exchanging or do you just go with the flow?

I went through the same thing, and that’s exactly why I started using https://obmify.com/en as a reference point before making any exchange. I don’t treat it as an exchange itself, but more like a tool to understand what options are available at the moment and how different services compare. Before that, I was opening multiple sites, checking rates manually, and still feeling unsure. Now I usually take a few minutes to look at the overview, understand the situation, and only then decide where to swap. It helped me avoid bad rates and made the whole process much calmer, especially when the amount is not small.

This makes a lot of sense. I don’t exchange crypto very often, but when I do, I also feel that pressure to decide quickly. Reading how others slow things down and build their own process is helpful. Crypto already has enough uncertainty, so anything that brings more clarity and confidence seems worth it.
