Put your eggs in an exchange, or in your own wallet? Crypto storage is about to undergo a major shake-up!

In the past, after buying Bitcoin, the first thing many investors did was put it in an exchange.
Why? It was convenient! Buy whenever you want, sell whenever you want, and fees were easy to calculate. It felt like keeping your money in a bank that was open 24/7.
But an exchange is not a bank deposit safe, and an account balance does not mean users directly control the blockchain private keys.
If a platform runs into business problems, regulatory restrictions, technical failures, or security incidents, users may have trouble withdrawing their funds.
As a result, self-custody wallets are attracting more attention.
Self-custody means users hold their own private keys and control their own assets. It sounds liberating, but freedom comes at a cost: forget your password or lose your seed phrase, and even customer support may not be able to save you.
A more sensible approach in the future may be to manage assets in tiers.
Keep funds for day-to-day trading on a trusted, compliant platform; use a verified self-custody solution for long-term holdings; and consider multisignature and secure backups for important assets.
It’s like keeping small change at home, deposits in the bank, and important documents in a safe.
Don’t put your entire net worth in one basket, and certainly don’t hand that basket to someone else without keeping the key.
