Unpopular opinion: exchange wallets are okay for a lot of people, myself included

I have been buying and selling crypto for half a year and have not yet accumulated enough for it to matter long term. I buy regularly and like to be able to view my total portfolio on my exchange… A lot of people keep saying that having my crypto stored on the exchange is very unsafe, but when you use the biggest exchanges the chances of that happening is enormously slim..

But as with all unpopular opinion there might be a very real chance that I am wrong, so if you disagree with me, please tell me why I should go out and grab a ledger!
