Re: How would crypto fare without centralized exchanges?
If crypto becomes extremely popular in the future (widely adopted by a vast majority of people worldwide), it's probable governments will turn against it. They can pressure centralized exchanges to close up shop or face serious consequences in the long run. After all, these exchanges are the on and off ramps from the crypto world to the Fiat world. While not every country is against crypto, they might change their stance once they see Russia using it as a means to avoid sanctions.
Imagine if most countries unilaterally agree on banning centralized exchanges for good. Will that mean the end of crypto for good (even though it would still be possible to get some crypto through decentralized exchanges)? After all, most people will be afraid of using crypto if it's declared "illegal". The ban of centralized exchanges will surely topple crypto prices, signaling fear among investors and traders alike.

If something like this where to happen in the future, I think it will give rise to more dex, like the attention will now be on how to create more dex suitable for all users, it is because of the existence of cex that dex are not given the much needed attention. Such situation will affect crypto for some time but once there are enough dex to provide services and take cex place everything will go back to normal and government will have little or no control then.
