Who said anything about not having a centralized exchange? Centralized on ramps are not necessarily antithetical to a decentralized system.

This argument kills me all the time.

Like, yes, when I take my kids to Chuck E. Cheese I do want to convert my money into the tokens. I do not want to store them as that.

In this specific argument, it was about regulations, which such centralized exchanges would need to comply with.

Generally, it's literally the whole basic premise of everything 'crypto'!

I’m sorry, but yes they are… the security of the system was supposed to be built in, and it was supposed to have its value built in. Neither are true. It’s not decentralized and at this rate it never will be, and seeing how it turned out so far, it would be a good thing to fail.
