You do realize that buyers on exchanges are buying coins from other exchange users right? And vice versa. Not from the exchange itself. If there's not enough liquidity to meet the demand of the buyers, what will simply happen is that the price will increase as the buyers execute the orders of the higher sell offers.

Trading on custodial exchanges can be most flexible and fastest but not with the lowest fees. Custodial exchanges do charges in percentage, while noncustodial exchanges only charge mining fees. So, if you want to exchange low amount of bitcoin can lead to high mining fee on noncustodial exchanges while the fee will be low on custodial exchanges which can be 0.1% to 0.2% on custodial exchanges. But if the amount of bitcoin to exchange if high, the mining fee only will still be charged on noncustodial exchanges while custodial exchange will charge in percentage which will increase the fee and making it higher than that of noncustodial exchanges. So, it depends.

Do you not know hardware like trezor have Dex, the time of exchange can take 10 minutes but you can exchange your coins on many noncustodail wallets, and only mining fee will be charged. For holders, they can easily make use of of Dex while frequent traders can make use of custodial exchanges because of trading flexibility.

It is not new that custodial exchanges are complying to governmental policies. What you can say is that will SEC have strict regulation for cryptocurrencies? While custodial exchanges and other companies providing custodial crypto service will be the governmental targets while the custodial companies will comply.

If you do not like the statement, that means you do not know what the statement is all about. It is simple and basic that if you do not have a private key to your coin, you do not have full control over the coin because the private key is used to unlock the coin from the blockchain.

What are you trying to suggest?

I have explained how holders can make use of Dexs, while also they can make use custodial exchanges. Some exchanges have no strict regulation about kyc, if a country governmental laws about crypto regulation is getting stricter and out of hand, seeing others reputed exchanges in the country where the their laws are not strict to have increase in trading volume.

But in my opinion, that does not mean custodial exchanges can not freeze someone's account because not your key not your coin. Making use of hardware and Dexs will be my forgo. It can take 10 minutes for my trade to complete, but charging mining fee is not an issue for me, and like especially if someone's is a holder.

@OP you're describing a system in which exchanges inflate the order books and sell coins they don't have. Your whole post looks to be in support of exchange driven inflation - which I'm also pretty sure is or should be a crime if not stated in their ToS and even if it is it'd probably lead to them being shut down.

If this was your sentiment and you don't think all orders are posted by genuine users then you've also implied you need to move your coins off an exchange yourself.


What exchanges do you know that charge a % on fees rather than a flat fee (I haven't seen this). 

Different peoples in the world have a different opinions. We use hardware wallets to secure our funds, not for trading. If you are a trader, then usually you will have to hold funds on the exchange. But still, not your key not your coin exists there. Because once you are holding funds on the exchange then you just holding an algorithm there. When you attempt to withdraw your funds then the exchanges will give payout from their hot/cold wallet. So during withdrawal, you may face any issue. But again, don't hold your fund into exchanges for a long time. I wouldn't agree with your logic unless I am a trader.

Ahhh oops I thought you were just talking about withdrawals nvm...

I agree on the core concept. Even if the coins are entitled under your name, that does not do shit as the bitcoin protocol only recognize private keys for authorization and whatnot. I can’t stress this enough - for as long as an exchange holds your funds, it is virtually theirs so after any and every trade, just withdraw the funds and just deposit after. Paying fees are better than losing it all, right?

You can put your coins on the wallets where it can be connected to an exchanges.  This is what they call as non custodial exchanges where the coins stays on your wallet till you connect it to an exchanges, mostly dex of swapping platform.  I don't know if you still consider it an excuse.

The only that will stop you here is if you are slow enough to see the market trend, you sell ahead if you know the market trend will change very soon and while there is still enough supply and demand.

You clearly don't need to get the best out of bitcoin. If you don't care about its best properties which I enumerate for you below:

• Decentralization
• Censorship resistance
• Pseudonimity
• Open Source
• Permissionless
• Transaction Immutability
• Consensus rather than command and control

well, bitcoin is not for you. Have an eToro account and make your fake trading for profit over there.
