Custodial vs Non-Custodial Wallets: a Life-Saving Difference

If there was only one lesson to learn from the downfall of crypto exchange FTX, it would be to never keep more crypto on exchange wallets than necessary. For the sake of buying and trading, one can hardly navigate around a CEX, but crypto savings should never be stored in exchange wallets.
