If you had a large amount of cryptocurrency would you prefer to keep it on an offline cold wallet or an online cryptocurrency exchange?
Both have pros and cons.
I'm interested to hear the thoughts of others.
There is hardly any debate that self-custody is the better option. It might be slightly more convenient to use a centralized exchange, but the cons far outweigh the pros. Holding your own keys involves more responsibility but you can have peace of mind knowing your coins won’t be frozen or seized because of arbitrary compliance reasons.
