Centralized Exchanges Are Not Safes — They're Gateways 🚨🚨
Binance, Coinbase, Bybit — these are not vaults. If you're storing your assets there, you're essentially saying:
"Here’s my capital — I hope you don’t vanish with it."
History speaks for itself:
Celsius
BlockFi
Each collapsed. Billions lost. Lives impacted.
Lesson: “Not your keys, not your coins” isn’t just a motto — it’s your insurance policy.
What to do instead:
Store long-term assets in cold wallets like Ledger
Use decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid for leverage
Swap tokens via Uniswap
Bridge chains with Hyperlane
Handle cross-chain swaps using Simpleswap
The core of crypto is decentralization — don’t trust centralized intermediaries with your future.
Use CEXs only to enter or exit fiat. Then move off.
Don’t treat exchanges like banks — they’re not.
Be your own custodian. Be early. Be smart.
In the next bull cycle, exchange risks may resurface.
Smart investors are already going cold. You should too.
Crypto rewards those who prepare.
