Former US SEC attorney: 'Get out of crypto platforms now'

If you don't hold your own keys privately and offline then you don't really own any crypto. At best you own a share in a dicey exchange that may go under at any time (due to regulation, fraud or whatever else).

Finbold is not a reliable news source / site. Even r/cryptocurrency flags finbold as unreliable.

In this case they're pretty much just quoting the dude, with links back to his tweets.

Even? Like biased subreddits are the bastion of what's reliable or not

It's a news source which only posts (pro-) crypto news yet gets automatically flagged in the one place it should thrive because it is so unreliable.

A moot point because the URL has been changed regardless.
