Sounds good, do whatever you think is best. I personally like the freedom, the perks, the profit, and everything else that I'm doing from being my own bank. Wouldn't trade it for the world...
The crypto industry is still in its infancy -- especially when it comes to their technology, Are you serious? the entire thing is based on technology!
Agree it is a wild wild west but the Crypto Cult members won;t accept it on any count, they think it is the best thing that has happened since sliced bread
and everything else.. does that include taking the risk of the entire exchange being hacked and loosing your "assets"
Let's read the entire sentence - "The crypto industry is still in its infancy -- especially when it comes to their technology, governance and security." The context of the discussion is the use of technology and governance in regards to security in the crypto exchanges. Effectively the crypto industry is still in its infancy and far behind the security practices of mainstream financial institutions.
On the other hand .... Humans and AI are still in its infancy. They will soon destroy the crypto industries and that will be the mother-of-all-mega-tulip-mania.
Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Robinhood and Binance are good crypto exchanges, no hacks for years that I know of
I would absolutely remove Coinbase off your list. I see dozens of reports of people being locked out of their accounts, and also lots of people having trouble with withdrawing. I'm not saying Coinbase doesn't have the coins, but just that there are major issues. Perhaps the verification is very stringent, which is a good thing, but if this holds up your withdrawal request, it can get worrisome. Robinhood of course has also had many issues over the years. But I never hear bad things about Kraken to be honest. Anyway, I'm by no means an expert and have no experience with any of these firms, but just passing along what I've seen posted on X.
