Stop bashing on people who had or have money on exchanges, arguing that they miss the whole point of decentralized finance. It is hypocritical. Many of you trade crypto with some level of frequency, and most likely do it trough one of those exchanges.

Newsflash: supporting decentralized finance and using exchanges is not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Yes, the whole point of using personal wallets is clear. The benefits are uncontroversial. But their usage applies mainly to investors who are going long, and don't pursue an active trading strategy.

Most criticism comes in the form of "oh you lost your money because you are stupid, and you deserve it because we warned you". Sure, there is personal responsibility involved, and that's a risk that many were willing to take. But you are completely blaming the victim here, as if the exchanges had nothing to do with it.

Those who use exchanges for trading, and simultaneously bash on those who use exchanges, are evidently hypocritical.

Or am I missing the point? What solutions do you recommend for decentralized and fully secure (wallet-to-wallet) active trading?
