Crypto is pretty centralised thanks to these exchanges and many blockchains running solely on AWS such as Ethereum.

Crypto being ‘decentralised’ is a well known myth.

Ethereum running “solely” on AWS is a myth. If AWS were shut down, the chain would continue as usual.

Even Vitalik knows that Ethereum is centralised.

Continue laundering money for foreign state actors and narcotics businesses, sounds about right as this is is what crypto is good for.

Do you think it would continue or not? Your comments seem to hold conflicting points.

You don't need exchanges for cryptocurrencies to work, they just make onboarding easier.

Do you mean that, once on-boarded, crypto holders would only need to trade with fellow crypto holders?
