The ideology behind crypto is freedom and liberty from the current government system(s) that are inherently wrong and elitist.
HOWEVER
Centralised exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken and Binance take a noble idea of bringing Bitcoin to the masses and mock it by affiliating with governments (and governmental agencies) that the very concept of Bitcoin is designed to rebel against.
Big CEXs are killing the original bitcoin spirit by forcing users to pay tax on gains, freezing user's assets, preventing users from using their service depending on their IP and more.
This is horrible. This is not what bitcoin is. This is not freedom. This is not liberty.
Taxes contribute to the regimes that so many of us are against. How can we continue using companies whose values don't align with ours?
Taxes are theft and fund wars and needless bloodshed in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and more.
The solution is pretty clear: More projects need to be released that are focused on building sustainable decentralised solutions to enable users to trade and purchase bitcoin (and crypto in general). Right now the main areas of focus need to be security and simple UI/UX interfaces.
And we need to stop using CEX and funding what we are all against.
I understand ehat you are trying point out but as of now, CEX are needed for adoption. Not all people want revolution, they just want to trade and earn, because exchanges offer a lot and absolutely effective to what most people want today. Look how hey work it out, offering them extra income, staling their coins just a few days and boom, they could earn. So many opportunities unlike decentralized exchange. Only a time when the people don't want to use fiat anymore, or the value of fiat is totally useless. And I think we are somehow getting nearer to that, look at your surroundings, the world is the brink of destruction. Do you think a centralized money is needed on that day? Well that's just my opinion and nothing more.
