Binance or exchanges are 'anti' crypto. Buying/Selling crypto defeats the purpose of crypto entirely, rather supports fiat(do the math please). Exchanges must die before crypto even starts working.

Agree with the sentiment, but not the magnitude.

We are still going to need on-ramps/off-ramps and it would be better if they were legal and regulated to be small. Exchanges are still going to be needed. "Retail banking" with managed wallets are still going to be needed. Only allow them to operate in one country, put a cap on the the maximum amount of funds/accounts they can have and get rid of any "investment" scheme.

Essentially, something like the crypto version of credit co-ops.

Honestly all I hope for is for people to stop thinking of crypto as stocks/investments but treat them as currency. Majority of the embarrassing press and downsides of crypto in the past decades have to do with the former.

Why are exchanges/onoff-ramps needed??

Mining, swaping, burning, spending is enough. And where it's not, the use-case is not decentralized (has centralized governance or has known membership) & can be achieved more efficiently via fiat.
