Is this not why Bitcoin was created in the first place? To get away from this kind of suffocating, hostage-taking of our financial freedom by the banks?  Angry And now what do we do? We give the "new banks" (aka crypto exchanges) our cryptocurrency instead of holding on to it ourselves...

If you put money into a centralised exchange you might as well just keep using fiat and forget about cryptocurrency altogether.

People always want to learn things the hard way. After being privileged to be able to have a system where one can control their assets and funds independently without any third party, they still do not like that; they prefer to give it to a third-party exchange to help them do that. It is when something happens that is when they realize they need to control their assets themselves. I see no difference between such actions and the fiat system because it is similar in nature, but only that this is crypto, but their actions are still the same, so why not make use of the fiat system rather than wasting time with the crypto exchange, because the exchange works similarly like the banks but in a well packaged and upgraded way backed by the government.
