We are talking crypto here.

Not everyone holds their coins in their wallets for their own personal reasons. Some put coins on an exchange and set them at a predetermined sale price. Others put coins on exchanges and forget about them.

I personally leave my coins in my wallet (my sig is a tongue in cheek about all the cryptos lost from exchanges "going under") until I am ready to move them. I asked the question because it needed to be asked. Might not have been for my benefit but questions need to be asked and answered for every to be aware and might not have thought to ask.


EDIT: Also it has been known in the past for coins to be "lost" from exchanges during this process. It has happened and no I am no saying BitTrex would do this. I only used them in my example here and above as that is my main exchange.
