It isn't as exciting as not having a Fundamental and standalone right to accessing your wallet without any interference from a third party.
Wait a minute you! Yes you!! Why are you still using that Exchange wallet for Holding your coin
No, not me.
My exchange has nothing, but BNB for gas fees only. The tokens that I'm currently holding are on different wallets that I have control over.

Well, the tl;dr of the whole thread is, always be safe whatever happens.
Anyway, thanks for the reminder OP. I'm pretty sure this thread might help 1 or 2 newbies out there and might do research regarding increasing the security of their wallets, and the correct wallets that they're using. Aside from that, seeing Bitcoin at $50,000 isn't that surprising, and exciting for me because I knew already that it would reach that price. TBH, I might not feel anything as well if Bitcoin's price reaches $100,000 for the first time. I mean I saw Bitcoin's price reaching $40,000, $50,000, and even $60,000 way back in 2021, and I didn't feel anything but disappointment because of my wrong decisions.
Always be vigilant, and always look for websites that you're browsing because you might be browsing a phishing site already that may drain your wallets.
