Bull or Bear?
The cryptocurrency community tries desperately to figure out if we’re headed into another bear market or if the recent activity has just been price corrections.

On PancakeSwap a user can swap one token for another and pay under $1 for that transaction. The equivalent transaction on Ethereum DEX Uniswap may incur a gas fee of up to $30. Considering the waves of new investors heading into crypto in 2021 with smaller investment pots it is no surprise users are flocking to PancakeSwap.

Now, users have an abundance of options at their fingertips to try and navigate their way through possible choppy waters. PancakeSwap offers users the ability to stake and farm their crypto holdings to earn more CAKE. The native token of the platform. Looking at the price of CAKE since the biggest dip on Sunday 24th May it appears to be recovering well and has increased 49% in the last 14 days.
What is PancakeSwap?
PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange for swapping BEP-20 tokens similar to Uniswap or SushiSwap and uses an automated market maker (AMM) model. Simply put, that means that users can trade digital assets on the platform. Importantly, there isn’t an order book and Instead, users trade against a liquidity pool.
Those pools are filled with other users’ funds. They deposit them into the pool, receiving liquidity provider tokens in return. They can use those tokens to reclaim their share, plus a portion of the trading fees. In short, you can trade BEP-20 tokens, or add liquidity and earn rewards.
