<p>In this article, we will discover why it is horrible to keep cryptocurrency on exchanges. If you do not have time to read this article, please stop keeping your cryptocurrencies on exchanges. If you do, your crypto may get stolen or lost. If you are interested in the details, please keep reading.</p><h2><i class="fa fa-credit-card-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i>Lack of Ownership</h2><p>When you keep cryptocurrencies on exchanges like Coinbase, they have your private keys. Anyone who has your private keys can manage your wallet as if it is their own. They can send, receive and do whatever they want with your wallet. Even if the exchange you are trading on is trusted, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mt-gox.asp">if they shut down, you will lose your crypto.</a> This happened a few times before and thousands of people lost all of their crypto. This is why exchanges should be used for what they are good at; purchasing crypto. Keep exchanges only for one purpose.</p><h2><i class="fa fa-gavel" aria-hidden="true"></i>No Regulation</h2><p>Currently, the whole crypto exchange industry has a severe lack of regulation. The fact that exchanges have your private keys means that <strong>they can freeze your account which would cut off your access to your own crypto.</strong> Governments can request such freezes.

This happens much more than people think. If this happens, hackers can easily take control of people's wallets and send all the crypto to themselves. If a hack like this happens through Bitcoin, it can at least be tracked. However, many hackers convert their crypto to Monero which cannot be tracked. If this happens, you will never get your money back unless the hacker decides to return the money.</p><h2><i class="fa fa-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>Conclusion</h2><p>To sum it up, you should never store your crypto on exchanges because you do not own your own crypto.

<p>With regards to technology, the average person would rather buy a new computer when their WiFi stops working instead of taking it to a repair shop or fixing it themselves. They would rather buy a new smartphone when their screen cracks than repair it. They would also rather buy a device because of its looks and arbitrary specifications than one specific to their use case and their interests. They focus on the marketing of a company and become 'fanboys' of a specific company, buying nothing but their products, stating that the company in question makes the best products in the world. Self-servicing and repairability are not even factors in their decision to buy a device. <p>With regards to technology, the average person would rather buy a new computer when their WiFi stops working instead of taking it to a repair shop or fixing it themselves.

When others look at <a style="color:#50fa7b" href="../../definitions/thinkpad">ThinkPads</a>, they think whoever buys them is not making a good decision. They think <a style="color:#50fa7b" href="../../definitions/thinkpad">ThinkPads</a> look ugly. They do not focus on the usability of a device. <a style="color:#50fa7b" href="../../definitions/thinkpad">ThinkPads</a> are used because of their durability, repairability, fast performance, and more. The fact that they are made for businesses means that there is no profit for Lenovo in letting a ThinkPad break early. Instead, they earn money by selling long-lasting and durable devices that last individuals for years on end.</p> <p>As an example, a plethora of technology enthusiasts still buy <a style="color:#50fa7b" href="../../definitions/thinkpad">ThinkPads</a> to this day.

<p>If you want to get more technical, think about the over-engineering of website builders. Instead of having a simple piece of software that generates static sites and blog posts based on <a style="color:#50fa7b" href=../../definitions/markdown>markdown</a> files, we have ultra-bloated website builders that provide a simple way to make a website at the cost of extremely slow websites and unneeded JavaScript. We also have oversimplified user interfaces in Windows and MacOS. These <a style="color:#50fa7b" href=../../definitions/operating-system>operating system</a> have made bad and oversimplified interfaces a norm, which makes good interfaces such as ones you can customize on Linux seem too complicated or confusing even though it would be easier for someone with no experience in computing to get started with most desktop environments available.</p> <p>If you want to get more technical, think about the over-engineering of website builders.

<p>As <a href="https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/obvious-technical-solutions/">Luke Smith mentions in his post,</a> we never thought about using wheels on suitcases until the 1990s even though children in the Incan empire did have toys with wheels.
