    If exchanges close, websites stop accepting them, and you can’t withdraw to fiat

    Regulation can easily kill most of the cryptocurrency market

    Trading on non CEX is a massive pain as well

    Storing for long time on cold wallets makes you vulnerable to volatility, which isn’t good for high amounts. It’s essentially investing on a high risk asset.

      You can still trade with people directly on forums/chats, like before exchanges existed.

      Why?

      If exchanges close, websites stop accepting them, and you can’t withdraw to fiat

      Even in the worst case scenario there is a possibility of anonymous crypto-only exchanges on darknets.

      Agree, long-term storage on external wallet isn’t a good suggestion.
