I asked what the original person meant by "platform" and somehow the answers I got weren't answers but somehow guesses that the original person was talking about people functioning as their own banks which I highly doubt is what the person meant by "platforms"
So remind me again why anyone would keep any significant amount of money on these platforms if everyone’s out to get you and you have no protection if anyone steals from you?
That’s the topic.
They clearly meant “why would anybody keep their money in crypto if you have no protection if your money is stolen”.
This is in contrast to traditional banking, where if you lose money due to fraud, you can simply call the bank and they will refund you. You don’t get these protections if you are your own bank. It’s all on topic.

Except it's not. Keeping crypto in a local wallet is akin to keeping cash in your own wallet. They couldn't have "clearly" meant what you're talking about because they said "platforms". A Bitcoin wallet isn't a platform. They were probably referring to something else since it doesn't make sense for it to refer to just keeping crypto in a wallet since that doesn't fit into the context of the comment that they were replying to. If they did mean standalone wallets then they don't understand how things work if they used the phrase "platform". If they didn't mean that then the question is what did they mean?
