Of course yes
I meant Trading as Trading crypto, the fees are big and often it isnt quite a deal, is better to have long positions in my thought
The fees are not being if you know where to trade and how to trade. You do not necessary have to use trading platforms to trade.
There are Crypto Coins [ Stable Coins ] and Defi Web 3 or how I call them shitty coins , those are on various other blockchain chains , there's the mainnet Etherium Chain and there's others such as Base, Solana, Optimism, Sui and many others.
Solana mainnet blockchain has it's own Coin which is Solana at around 254$ right now.
Base mainent blockchain does not have it's own coin/token as Solana has.
When you're swapping a coin/token from Ethereum onto another crypto token using the same mainet of Ethereum then you're always paying a fee of around 10-20$ could be lesser could be bigger, depending of many reasons.
The problem with crypto coins/tokens it's because as far as I could have seen , especially from deep research and experience is that 95% of them are pure scam, by this 95% I refer to the rest of the coin names that are existing on all of the mainnets and platforms.
One could for instance bridge 100$ Ethereum onto 100$ Ethereum BASE , but you will lose 10$ from the fee of bridging and then 10$ again when you bridge back the Ethereum base onto back to normal Ethereum on it's own main net, I have checked many things and I might do a topic with various tools which will help many be more secured in their investments , mostly not to get scammed, I can't guarantee any secure winnings but I can help you not to get scammed by the fake coins/tokens which are nothing more then market manipulations in groups of people , nowadays everything is tracked and whoever does financial fiat gains on their bank accounts trough crypto investment but lied to people trough a fraudulos way of obtaining investors and even worse, making a code of a coin in a way that your investors can never sell will only lead to jailing those scammers.
But yes to this works like this:
100$ Eth to Eth Base Mainet 90$ [-10$ goes to fee]
Now since you're on the Base Mainet you can now buy any token within the blockchain of BASE , meaning you can convert your etherium base onto all the coins which exist on base platform and the fee to do so is 0.01$ comparing to the 10-20$ when you were using the normal etherium base mainnet.
I know there's a difference between swapping a coin/token and actual trading but I have bought and swapped many times coins onto tokens for short term holding and selling the profits always, this can work, just use the AI and ask more information about what I've just said now.
