What a mess.
If you are reading this thread. ask questions. You NEED your own wallet. I know I posted it a long time ago, and maybe its a DUH comment now.
But im guessing, a few people dont know what that means.
If you purchased your crypto on coinbase, robinhood, ftx, etc. You dont really own your coins.
If you dont have a wallet with like a 12 word seed phrase. ask here. we can help
Why?
If you hold the stuff and lock some letters in a safe what value is there above gold? Isn't the idea this would be a currency? If it has no use case then why hold it?
Huh? A wallet is where you can spend it, and can use it as currency, not an exchange.
Crypto the way it's meant to be, the role of an exchange would be little more than to onboard fiat into crypto, and then move that crypto to your wallet. In your wallet is where you can spend it, and where it's actually yours.
All this stuff with exchanges isn't really crypto/blockchain. The exchanges are just people speculating on coin prices and then leaving it there in the custody of someone else. Like you buying a stock and asking me to hold onto it for you and trusting that I won't do anything nefarious with it.
Regardless, your comment doesn't make sense, because crypto's use case is from wallets, not from exchanges.
