I don't really trust exchanges so I don't hold my crypto these, but you can't deny that exchanges is a great thing for newbies that want to invest in crypto.

I think exchanges play a huge role in the adoption and promotion of crypto. Who is working with the government to legalize crypto trading? Exchanges. Who is working with Lugano and El Salvador to adopt crypto? Exchanges.

So I think they play an important role in the crypto game and every person should decide for himself if he should take the risk and hold money on an exchange.
