If you truly believe in #Bitcoin it makes no sense to keep them on exchanges.
Get a hardware wallet and store your own Bitcoins, or at least, don't keep them on exchanges.
Great freedom comes with great responsibility.

I'm new to #bitcoin and instantly took to this advice. I liked the sound of being my own bank. So now I am.
This is the way 🫂 gradually then suddenly the next step will probably be building your own node
You don’t even need a hardware wallet to start. You can store it on your computer or phone with a wallet like Green from nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n or BlueWallet. Save up and get a hardware wallet when you’re ready, but don’t let someone else manage your keys.
This is the way and #nostr is the perfect place to learn
Congrats - many make mistakes and learn costly lessons before taking this initiative.
That's why wise people says
Not your keys, not your coins

I am torn between trusting an organization and a piece of hardware. both have let me down so many times before. I need redundancy.
Bitcoin is the greatest freedom technology the world has ever seen. Use it wisely.
