Bitcoin's security model is fundamentally different from more traditional money transfer system. Security is distributed pushing responsibility to the edges. Individual users must secure their own keys but only those funds are at risk if those keys are compromised.

By forcing Bitcoin into a central clearing house model like most of these exchanges are doing you arguably have the worst security properties of both models.
