One thing everyone can agree on is that centralization is essential for the long term of cryptocurrencies. There needs to be a way for people using cryptocurrencies to do so without putting themselves at risk of fraud, theft, or other scams that could hurt investors.

Unfortunately, this decentralization is difficult to achieve due to the nature of cryptocurrency itself. Because there is so much room for scams and theft, ordinary people who are new to investing in crypto are hesitant to get involved because there is really no way for them to avoid the risk.

The bottom line is if you register on a CEX or a crypto trading platform, keep the money in moderation. Don't keep all your crypto assets there, the goal is clear because of security issues.
