Should we put our money in the exchange or in our own purse?
I think everyone has their own opinion, and old users will take money into their wallets.
But novices don't always know how to do this. They only buy and sell COINS on large platforms.
everything has its own usages and there are times you keep coins in your wallet and there are times you do it on an exchange. if you do it for wrong reasons then you are making a mistake.
a wallet is obviously is to "store" your coins. cold storage for long term and extra security and hot wallet for short term and the money you need to be available to you.
exchanges are used for trading and nothing else if you store coins there you are making a mistake but sometimes you need to keep them there for example when you are trading, you keep them in an open order or keep some shitcoin ready in a stop loss order to dump immediately if the dump started. or sell it before the pump ends to secure your profit.
Just last September, when China said it was closing down its trading platform, everyone started selling COINS and withdrawals, and there was basically no currency on the platform. Currency prices have soared in more than a month.
Does the mention of money in one's purse have anything to do with the ups and downs of the market?
I don't know what you are talking about. all I remember is that there was a lot of drama about China. they announced closure of their exchanges and because of the panic bitcoin price dropped, it had little to do with Chinese themselves and whether or not they withdrew anything.
then the price went up because bitcoin was on the rise before the FUD and nothing can slow down bitcoin's adoption for long.
