Cryptocurrency was invented to remove middlemen. Everyday I hear about another company trying to hold your keys for you. Exchanges are the new banks. DeFi helps get rid of them. Now if only you could buy crypto from your neighbor, we truly could get the efficiencies of fast and nearly free, instant payment. Exchanges benefit from the accidental regulatory capture of security theater making it so you can't sell crypto to others out of fear. Perhaps I'm biased as a cryptocurrency founder.
