๐ง #Liquidity101 โ What Is Liquidity in Crypto?
๐ง Imagine This:
๐น You're trying to sell a rare antique in a small, empty town...
๐ It takes time, and you may have to drop the price a lot to find a buyer.
๐น Now imagine you're in a busy auction house...
๐ฐ Buyers compete, and you sell fast at a fair price.
โก๏ธ Thatโs liquidity.
