I also hope so, but to be a great exchange is not as easy as we imagine, especially to be able to attract the attention of investors

Looking forward to more decentralized exchanges, definitely the way things are progressing. Be interesting to see what Binance has to offer, think a popular exchange offering a decentralized one will convert more investors to the market. Few on the way, the current ones are too difficult to use for newcomers, and that will be the key in converting.

there are two types of people looking to exchange. those who want to trade, and those who want to actually exchange coins and go away.

traders want order books to play with. how do decentralized exchanges handle this? i've never really looked around one. even if they do have visible order books of a sort, i don't see how they can deliver the speed that traders want. that really requires ledger entries, not real exchanging.

maybe this'll change with lightning networks and atomic swaps, but right now i'd imagine it's far too clunky.

if we're talking the real exchange of coins then yes i see no reason why you'd bother with somewhere centralised. i dunno how many people are looking to do that versus trading.

komodo and blocknet are the next big players here.

It is good to have a decentralized exchange and DEX is a good example of it. However, I think it is good if DEX market their project smoothly around the world because a lot of decentralized projects as of now that is good as DEX.
