Hack and Hacks, every day I am waking up to the news of crypto exchanges getting hacked, recently a crypto exchanges founder died and he seem to have a hold of
$190 million worth of BitCoins with him.I have taken a pledge of never using a custodial exchanges, even if it is Binance, and not matter how much CZ says that he will keep the cryptos SAFU, I am not doing the mistake of keeping my money at stake.
I did a detailed study of what exchanges to use and what wallets to use -
- Exchanges - Instant exchanges only, Changelly, ChangeNow, CoinSwitch etc.
- Wallets - Divided into two parts - Ledger NANO S for long term investment, and keeping the funds safe, MultiCurrency wallet for trading, ex - Gaurda Wallet, Exodus Wallet
Let me know what you guys think.
I also do trust Binance but it's better to keep your 100% safe. Maybe CZ really meant to keep the funds safe but we don't have guarantee on his employees or security team or the devs. An inside job could happen and make the hack into a reality and that incident would lead onto making a lot of traders to stop buying crypto again.
