Vitalik Buterin Hates Centralized Crypto-Exchanges

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the Ethereum platform, openly criticized centralized crypto-exchanges and wished that they all "burned in hell as much as possible".

At the TechCrunch Blockchain conference in Zug, he said during an interview that decentralized trading platforms (DEX) are better, so the crypto community must get rid of stupid centralized crypto-instruments with unlimited power. Vitalik Buterin explained this by the fact that they determine independently which tokens to add to the listing, and which of them will grow faster than others.

According to him, some crypto-exchanges require up to $ 15 million for adding a new virtual currency to the platform, which is a prohibitive amount for many projects. Therefore, further decentralization will better meet the values of the blockchain, such as openness and transparency. DEX allow you to retain the exclusive ownership of existing crypto-currencies and private data. However, they cannot yet provide sufficient liquidity.
