Sorry to break it to you, but your funds on are sent to those centralized exchanges using shapeshit. They partner with them for liquidity. So your argument is moot.

How does that make my statement invalid? I was talking about KEEPING the funds on the exchanges, not about using them in general. You get the difference, right?

You said that there is shapeshift included in exodus wallet. How does that keep me from having to use a exchange to get my coins?

“An exchange is not a wallet” this is pretty much assuming I was using the exchange as a wallet.
