Why We Need Decentralized Exchange Moving Forward In Crypto
In the early days of cryptocurrency, there were few exchanges and most were centralized. This made sense at the time as the industry was new and small. However, as the industry has grown, the need for decentralized exchanges has become more apparent. Here are four reasons why centralized exchanges are no longer the best option for storing cryptocurrency.
Centralized exchanges hold the private keys to customer accounts and are therefore a prime target for hackers. In fact, centralized exchanges have been hacked numerous times, leading to the loss of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency.
When you store your cryptocurrency on a centralized exchange, you are trusting that the exchange will not disappear with your funds. This is known as counterparty risk. We've seen this happen before with the Mt. Gox exchange, which filed for bankruptcy after losing 850,000 BTC of customer funds.
When you store your cryptocurrency on a centralized exchange, you are giving up control of your private keys. This means that you are trusting the exchange to keep your funds safe and to not interfere with your account.
Centralized exchanges typically have poor customer support. This is because they are decentralized and there is no one central point of contact. If you have an issue with your account, you may not be able to get any help.
The cryptocurrency industry has come a long way since the early days of centralized exchanges. However, centralized exchanges are no longer the best option for storing cryptocurrency. They are insecure, come with counterparty risk, and lack customer support. It's time to move to a decentralized exchange.
