"Not your keys, not your coins." This isn't just a saying; it's *the* crucial rule. When your crypto (ADA, SOL, DOGE) is on an exchange, *they* hold the "private keys" – the secret codes. Not you.
Imagine your car in a big, paid garage. You have a ticket, but the *owner* has the only keys. If that garage collapses, gets hacked, your car is stuck. It's not yours. Same for your crypto on an exchange – if it goes down, your money is gone.
I lost $600 trusting platforms. Don't repeat my mistake with *your* assets. Get a hardware wallet for your long-term crypto. Control those keys. It's your only real security.
