I have never really understood exchanges tbh. Centralizing decentralized currency feels like getting the downsides of normal money/investments with fewer of the benefits.

It's so the lambs can pretend to own "stock" in crypto therefore defeating the whole purpose of cryptocurrencies. And then it gets shorted and margined and bulshitted..
