One of the main characteristics of Bitcoin is being decentralized so why in the world people will want to criticize it for lack of regulation, Bitcoin exchanges are the one that is worth of a regulation in my own perspective because there are a lot of money involve there that this users entrusting their funds to that centralized platform and it is vulnerable anytime with hackers. People should always be responsible to their cryptocurrencies and never rely no anyone so that they holdings will be safe.
Yes, and I also think if bitcoin is going to get massively adopted, it is going to be through centralized exchanges, especially if government regulates them and masses see it on the news.
Does anyone know how many wallets there are in exchanges vs. private wallets and wallets in decentralized exchanges? Is it possible to get that info?
I might be mistaken but I don’t see the average Joe buying a trezor to buy his first 100$ worth of bitcoins, I see more normal he buys them in Coinbase.
