investor: @binance will be the only exchange and will own the world!
me, also an investor: wow. um... why are you even investing in crypto companies? the whole point is to minimize intermediaries and make it impossible for this to happen.

2 years ago I had high profile investors tell me the same about Coinbase. Binance is crushing it but there’s a lot more game left in the exchange space imo

remove exchanges entirely and access order books while keeping coins in a wallet only *you* hold keys to
maybe i'm crazy, but this is going to happen in the next two to three years and it's going to be NUTS

This may not be feasible for serious trading. As crypto goes mainstream most execution will likely be algorithmic, where key advantage is co-location. No matter how sophisticated consensus mechanisms, latency due to synchronisation across distributed network will be limitation.

What value does this "serious trading" add to the Bitcoin space? A slight improvement to market making / liquidity at best? Very likely dwarfed by the risks of centralization. Such "serious traders" already have $trillions worth of centrally digitized assets to play with.

I agree with you that there may be minimal value in HFT. But ultimately success in most markets is driven by speed of execution. So if there is value to be extracted through speed, and a subset of traders exploit this, then the market will inevitably tend to that.

Then that subset of traders who benefit from microseconds can stay on the high-speed centralized markets; those who prize their security and safety more can go for the decentralized markets. YMMV.

As I noted in my original post, that’s what will likely happen. One will not exclude other. Chances are most market pricing will be driven by centralised exchanges, but decentralised one’s will likely tend to similar pricing as arbitrage opportunities are closed.
