Crypto 101

What does "not your keys, not your coins" mean?

If an exchange holds your crypto, you own a claim on the exchange — not the coins themselves. If it fails or freezes withdrawals, your claim is what you're left holding.

“Most altcoins from the last cycle never recovered. Position sizing matters.”
