Lol. Everyone just leaves their money on shady exchanges. A small fraction of people manage their own wallets and they get robbed frequently or lose them.

Most people also leave stocks they own with their brokerage. In fact, they don’t even realize it’s the brokerage listed as the owner of their shares and in all likelihood the brokerage has loaned them out to short sellers and is earning interest on them.

What’s your point?
