    they’re not that useful in your own wallet because then you constantly need to move them in/out of the exchange and pay all the fees related to those transactions.

    Hot wallets are for small amounts for daily spending

    It’s the same as constantly going to the ATM to get cash in your wallet…

    Nobody carries around their whole net worth in their pockets

      What that statement ment was, that you can’t use it to invest and diversify you portfolio if its not in an exchange. So unless you keep the majority in the exchange, you can’t trade it without paying the transaction fees every time.
