There is risk either way, though. Say you want to sell fast because of something major (that is not just hype). If your monies aren't online you will be the last to try to cash out.

I agree, which is why I prefer to:

- keep only (most of) my long term holds in my hardware wallets (e.g. NEO, OMG, ...)

- spread my shorter term holds over several exchanges
