RE: Things Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts Are Telling You, but You're Probably Ignoring
It is somewhat comical that we are taking a decentralized currency and putting it on centralized exchanges. I understand the need for "practical use" to buy/sell and own crypto since most people don't understand wallets/aren't comfortable, but its defeating the purpose.
If it wasn't so sad, I could laugh. Maybe it'll just take time.
scaredycatguide, Is there any way to use USD to buy BTC on a de-centralised exchange? If so, what are the advantages of centralised over de-centralised?
Anything centralized you are at the mercy of that organization at the end. If they get hacked or crash or whatever your funds are locked up or gone. Ex. Poloniex with steem....peoples steem was locked on there for months as they worked out their issues.
