We need to encourage people to trade on the internal exchange so that we can build the liquidity there. First, it's a true DEX built on the layer 1 chain, and 2 it actually gives a good use case for both Hive and HBD. Binance isn't going away, they just now have to play ball with the regulators, which they were really already doing. As a US citizen, I haven't been able to use the main Binance exchange anyway, we are subject to the limited Binance.US which has had it's own share of issues.
The main point of my little rambling, is if people really care about the whole decentralization factor of our industry, they would use DEX's instead of that centralized garbage. On Hive, we have an amazing opportunity here to be an ambassador to traders who what a different way.
NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR COINS!
I agree with your points. We need more adoption in the real world with crypto directly. Currently we are converting the crypto from a decentralized space to a centralized FIAT space and that mostly cannot be done without a CEX. But I definitely agree that DEX should be the future.
