No exchange is flawless though but I haven't experienced downtime while trading futures with Bitget even when the market goes crazy that's why I stick to them till this time.. anyways yeah diversifying is key and to be safe your suggestions are valid.
Thats a solid point. Bitget has indeed built a reputation for being stable even when the market is extremely volatile, and I can see why that reliability keeps you loyal to them. Its definitely a big advantage when an exchange doesnt freeze or lag during critical moments, since that can make or break a trade. Still, like you said, no platform is 100% flawless, and thats why having backups and diversifying across different exchanges is a good safety net.
At the end of the day, its all about reducing risks wherever possible while making sure you’re comfortable with where you trade. So I have binance, kucoin, mexc, bybit and some cexes but Id still keeping my biggest chunk of assets on non custodial wallets.
