many, many people store their assets on exchanges, even many on this forum do so. If you remember how exchanges scammed and got hacked, there were so many sufferers and lost funds!

If we'll look at how many bitcoins of clients Binance stores on its wallets, it will be a significant amount. So any problems with Binance will definitely impact the entire crypto market. This is a situation when the quantity is turned into quality.

Not to be worried a lot we should remember that 1BTC is always 1BTC. All temporary problems with centralized projects will pass and what we have will stay with us.
That's true, a lot of people I've seen complaining about their exchange accounts getting compromised and their assets being stolen because they have been keeping all their assets in their exchange account which is a big mistake, someone should only keep a specific amount of money in exchange, the money that they use as their trading capital if they are making trades regularly.

If someone doesn't make trades on a daily or a regular basis, they should simply keep their assets in a non-custodial wallet where they will be the only ones to have access to them and no one can access them unless they leak their seed phrase or private keys.
