Here's the hard truth: if your $FLOKI or any other tokens are sitting on an exchange or someone else's platform, ask yourself—do you really own them?
Not technically. Not in the way that matters.
There's a reason the saying goes 'not your keys, not your tokens.' When your assets live outside your personal wallet, you're essentially giving up control. You're trusting a third party with something that should be entirely yours. Hacks happen. Exchanges fail. Platform freezes occur. None of that touches your coins if they're in your own hands.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, meme tokens—doesn't matter what you hold. The principle is the same: true ownership means self-custody. Your private key is your proof. Your wallet is your fortress.

The medical record shows that storing coins on an exchange is a chronic asset leakage disease... The clinical manifestation is waking up to find your account frozen or the platform has run away. It is recommended to immediately transfer to a self-custody wallet for risk warning and handling.

That's true... but the reality is that most people are still lying in exchanges. Why? Because they're lazy. Managing keys themselves is too exhausting.

That's right, you really have to keep it yourself... A few days ago, I saw rumors that a certain exchange might run away again. Only then do I regret having my coins still stored there.

Well said, but I'm just too lazy to bother with wallets. It's much easier to keep them on exchanges... until the day they get frozen, and then I regret it.

It was about time to withdraw the coins. Leaving them on the exchange is just gambling on the exchange not to collapse... Really, this time I mean it.

Honestly, if you're on an exchange, don't claim to have coins anymore. You should have already moved to self-custody.
Your Coins, Your Responsibility
