I have most of mine on an exchange because I'm getting paid interest. Has there ever been a time when an exchange like Binance for example, steals your funds or gets hacked and people lost money?
it has been answered and explained thousand time before and look at all the answers in your thread now? it is the vulnerabilities and the idea of exchange being targeted by scammers and hackers so best not to leave your funds inside this exchange or in other exchange .
You must have the KEY for you to tell that it is your funds.
