Comparing what you'd get

The table shows the same $100 under different cost levels. The difference between "none" and "2% fee + 2% spread" is the kind of gap you can see between an advanced trading screen and a simple "buy" button on the same exchange. The order preview is where to check before you confirm. The true cost calculator includes withdrawal fees too.

Where $100 of bitcoin ends up

Left on an exchange, it's an entry in that company's books. Moved to your own wallet, it's under your control, but a withdrawal fee comes out first and the backup is your responsibility. See hot vs. cold wallets.

A $100 "investment" that grows fast is a red flag

Scam platforms often start with a small deposit and show it growing quickly, to get a larger one. If someone you met online is guiding you to a platform, stop. Read fake crypto trading sites.
