Once you have traded the crypto you own shows up in the dashboard of your account.

Have you ever thought what could happen if the exchange you are trading on today closes down?

All your hard earned crypto money could vanish!!!

So it is very important to withdraw your crypto money and keep it in a wallet.

Also back up the wallet and the private keys associated with your wallet

[Jeet Narayan 1940]

Yes you are right. Right now a lot of exchange is being hacked or it is becoming very difficult to keep money in the stand. We should never leave our money in the exchange.  Should be checked occasionally and kept in a safe place.

[BTC Future 3946]

People should spent a few of their time to understand that exchanges can be hacked and shut down without paying anything back. It happened with MtGox and other sites in the past. They can exit scam as well, claiming they were hacked and of course they have no obligation to pay back the user as even regulated exchanges don't need to provide any cover for losses if these issues occur.

[Rudro88 371]

Yes, I will never leave the crypto exchange because, as long as I deal with crypto currency, I will try to earn money by trading my coins through the exchange.  So I want to be able to be successful in my life through exchange sites as a source of income and get rich.

I think that depends on the exchange because I've been using for more than 1 year now kucoin and yet my coins over this platform are safe and didn't encounter any issue problem so far, though its not that huge amount actually. 

It's still advisable not to keep your coins in any exchange of your choice as it's prone and easily accessible to scammers

[TasinHasan 421]

yes i agree with you because i have already faced idax exchange scam and also cryptopia.

also exchange account can be hack easily if you doesn't pass kyc so hold your balance to wallet only

That is exactly true, but many people still trust these exchanges with their funds for a long time, just send your funds to your personal wallet of your own if you want to hold.

right no one should hold his asset to any exchange wallet. all should store his asset in the personal wallet or to any hardware wallets.

[tienda 8776]

Why never? I agree with you if you give an advice of never choose any website exchange to keep your cryptocurrency on their wallets, but there are some website exchange with good security, and about to keep or no your crypto in website exchange wallet all depend about how you use your coins, if you are a daily trader is good to keep some of your coin on website exchange wallet, not every day you do withdrawal the fees are high! But I agree with you talk about the big volume of coin you need to hold them in hardware wallet.

Only known platforms should be traded
These platforms, if their team wants to close them, will be announced a while ago so that everyone can withdraw their money

[Pinkan 2]

Yes you are right, there may be a chance of cyber attack on exchange where you stored your crypto assets. That's why it is need to transfer your assets to a safe wallet. 

[ammarfares 95]

It is very bad Idea to leave your bitcoin in exchange for a long time you can withdraw your bitcoin or cryptocurrency to a wallet that you own the private key of this wallet it is more safe to you.

[Whydoyoucare 1094]

This is so true, me after trading. i always send all my coins to my hardware wallets because with that i am so sure and guaranteed that my coins wont be touch until my hardwallet is not being plugged into any sort of devices.

[miskyming 1588]

Right, don't store all your funds in exchange and don't make as a wallet because chances it will closing down especially a new exchanges..

[jacker 1095]

I agree with you. Currently scams and hackers are many, they are always looking to steal users' money, if you put a lot of money in an exchange when hackers hack 1 exchange they will take all your money.

[nicolas1234789 2566]

Exchanges hacks are relatively common and due to the lack of regulation, once the coins get lost that's it your dream will disappear in second. Wallet is the best place we can save our crypto asset as long we can follow wallet rules. There's no safe place for saving but I believe we have method to avoid scammer depend our experience.

[duncun007 3577]

everyone knows its not wise to leave your coins in an exchange but to me i have been leaving them there because i am tired of sending the coins back to the exchange every now and then.

[dinabolt 514]

Hacker is every where and we should protect our asset from them, saving at exchanges is really not recommended. Some people doing buy sell activity user by user to avoid scammer but of course safety is their responsibility. Exchanges already do their best but as users we also need get in and get out fast after transaction, no more saving.

The best way is to put our income or assets in our own personal wallet where it can be more secure and calm. If storing it in an exchange is very dangerous because it is feared that the exchange will be closed or attacked by irresponsible parties.

storing on exchanges is very dangerous and as someone who lost his money on an exchange like cryptopia before i find it hard to leave my money on exchanges but i still do.

[Afrizal rahman 2636]

For this reason we have to deal with it earlier, where we have to make a backup key of our wallet, because if the wallet suddenly dies we don't lose what we have. For this reason we need to be on guard in advance.

[Sehr 288]

 the Exchanges hacks are moderately normal and because of the absence of guideline, when the coins get lost that is it your fantasy will vanish in second. Wallet is the best spot we can spare our crypto resource as long we can keep wallet rules. Trades as of now give a valiant effort however as clients we additionally need get in and get out quick after exchange,

[Ayush Singh 1175]

Yes there is a risk of storing our crypto coins with any exchanges because there are most of the exchanges which is not well protected and safe so it hard to find an exchange for storing the coins for a long term.

[Jhadhasan 872]

The presence of our money in private portfolios is safer in light of the existence of a lot of probability operations and we have to be careful about the keys to those portfolios and ensure that the addresses are matched while copying them

[Muhammad ayyan 811]

Thanks it is very useful information for beginners. People should know that exchanes can be hacked or may be shut down without paying our payments.  So I also suggest never leave your any crypto in exchanges.

This is true but what if you are a low portfolio trader like me? Do you think withdrawal fees from exchange and my wallet will not eat into my profit/capital if I withdraw and deposit daily on Yobit?

This is one reason you need to research the exchange before trading on it. Is the exchange secure? Had it been previously hacked? How old is the exchange?

[amara123123 76]

We need bitcoin for doing trading from exchanges because if we store our btc in wallets then how we can trade on it. But spare funds must be on crypto wallets. For safety of your funds used two factors security.
