I've never quite understood people leaving their cryptocurrency in wallets held by exchanges. Exchanges are good for exchanging. Any time I've dealt with bitcoin (bought 10 when they were ~$3.30/ea, that was probably the best investment I'll ever make and was done on a lark for an online game) the coins spent only a couple minutes in the wallet on the exchange. Transfer to that wallet, sell, or buy then immediately (well once the transaction is confirmed, an ever-growing amount of time...) transfer to my personal wallet. And after Mt.Gox went away with $1200USD in my account with them (but 0 btc), I get the USD into a personal account ASAP as well. I'm surprised no exchanges have been made which only do this. Holding onto coins just seems like inviting trouble.
