This has been the funniest not your key not your coin story I have ever heard. It is about an Indian exchange Mudrex that stopped crypto withdrawal and told people that withdrawal will resume on the 28th of January. That is 2 weeks and 3 days before their customers can be able to withdraw their money. That will also be if nothing has happened to the exchange.
But someone told people should convert their coins to Indian rupee and withdraw Indian rupee. I do not know if Indians that are using the exchange will be able to withdraw to fiat.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/indian-crypto-exchange-mudrex-halts-crypto-withdrawalsThe narrative of not your keys not your coins will remain a big phrase to swallow for people yet it remain one the best security measures anyone can take. If I'm not trading on any exchange, my funds don't has any businesses sleeping with over on the exchange, I will request for a deposit immediately and even if I wanted to buy a coin, immediately I'm done buying, I send it out to my external wallet, I will hold it there until it's ripe for my profits and then deposit back since I use the network with the lowest fees as possible.
Now this is another lesson for the users in the exchange, I hope that they have learn a great lesson. If the exchange eventually comes back online, I hope they take out their funds and withdraw their things. However, there are some people that will not listen, they might keep using the exchange as their normal wallet or move their funds from that exchange to another one and we all know none of this exchanges looks save as a wallet, personal wallets remain the best.
