Keeping your crypto sitting on a centralized exchange long-term? Time to rethink that strategy. Your private keys, your coins—that's the whole point. Moving assets to self-custody wallets isn't just best practice, it's essential. Don't wait.

It sounds like the same self-custody theory again, but to be honest, exchanges aren't that unsafe nowadays. Most people are fine just using exchanges.

Coins sitting idle on exchanges, huh? It's really time to wake up. Self-custody wallets are not optional; they're a must-have.

Honestly, putting your assets on an exchange is like gambling with your life. How can you still sleep peacefully?

It should have been withdrawn long ago. Are you just leaving it on the exchange to sleep and eat? You might wake up one day and it's gone.

Centralized exchanges are just lying dormant... I've heard too many blood, sweat, and tears stories. It's really time to manage your own keys.

Are your coins just sitting in the exchange? Wake up, that's why so many people get caught off guard.

ngl, the empirical data on exchange hacks over the past decade literally forms a statistically significant correlation with portfolio liquidation events. if you're still leaving coins on cex, your risk-adjusted returns are probably negative already.
