Great insight! DEX are definitely where most people will trend towards as institutions continue to enter the market to leverage their capital. They will be the most efficient and secure way to exchange assets while fostering a community of innovation to lead the growth and adoption. However, centralized exchanges will always be around as well as they remain as the only gateway to exchange fiat currency into cryptos. They are also structured to attend regulatory requirements of KYC and AML given their experience. It will be interesting to be see how this develops in the medium term.
absolutely! i agree with your points . it is up to us as cryptocurrency users to decide if we want to trade on centralized or decentralized exchanges, as far as i am concerned the whole point of cryptocurrency is to make a statement and prove that there is no need for a trusted 3rd party. fiat to crypto is possible with bisq and others like crypto bridge. knowingly giving up custody of funds to 3rd parties and your personal information is a step towards voluntary enslavement.
