          From what I understand, that’s how a lot of financial exchanges work. Unless you do the work of buying and selling cryptocurrency directly from and to other holders yourself, or transfer it into your own crypto wallet, your assets only exist within the exchange’s own systems.

          Seems that way. Kinda wild to have 2000 bitcoins floating around. Not sure I really understand whats going through a crypto enthusiasts brain to know this is still happening and still have any faith in the system whatsoever. Maybe the ledger is fine, but whatever this is, its not what its being presented as.
