I don't know what triggers this discussion or the user you're replying to but there's a serious danger in using free Wi-Fi and it's not something every cryptocurrency investor must do.
Hackers who mostly access the device's data, including passwords and sensitive information, frequently target public Wi-Fi because it is not always secure.

Meanwhile, data theft, identity theft, and other forms of fraud can result from hackers intercepting data sent between a user and a Wi-Fi network.

Public Wi-Fi networks lack privacy, and if you use a shared network, other users may be able to view your device's files or monitor your online activity.

To increase security when using a public Wi-Fi network, it is recommended to use Virtual Private Network (VPN) software or privately owned hotspots.

These are the reasons why being on this forum remains a great advancement for me in my knowledge about cryptocurrency. I think means that this scammers cannot operate with may not exist. The best advice is to generally be security cautious

I have to say it has to be an inexperienced member that would actually leave their funds on an exchange even after all the warnings.

Its might be quite obvious that a newbies can actually fall victim, due to inadequate to get the this message.

Even many experienced members leave their cryptocurrencies on an exhange, some of them know the risk but they are very lazy to control their own wallet so they want the exchange to help them to protect their crypto, so if the exchange fails they will lose their crypto.

Unwise of them to make such moves. Its ridiculous having a secured wallet and uncompromised ecosystem to save your funds and a users chooses to abuse the privilege.

You are very write about this. When you try to caution some of them about the practice they tell you about SAFU and how it is protecting them.
The feel cause hacks do not happen that often the chances of being a victim is very low but they are wrong.

So do you actually mean that's it might not be risky to leave your fund in the exchange.

I am saying the exact opposite that it is risky to leave your funds and private information on an exchange where you have no control over what happens to the asset.
SAFU does not protect users and they should always brave up for the next hack that steals their funds or information.

I like your idea and i will like to add, apart from leaving the fund i will suggest that all eyes are clear before any transaction is made and necessary tabs are watched closely.

There is a trending news about someone who lost a big money to an exchange, i think the money is $32k, the person lost the money and took the exchange to court, i don’t know if the person is expecting to win the case in court, but if that person did not keep that money in an exchange, they would have not lost it.

Chance of winning in court is very slim for the user. Exchanges have so many terms of service to protect themselves if there is a loss by a user and they have some which allow them seize your coins for literally no reason.
Best advice is to not store that amount on an exchange to start with.

If registered with the SEC, crypto exchanges would be forced to adopt technology systems to make their order books audit-compliant. They would also face strict protocols.

With the involvement of SEC its definitely going serve the decentralized system a change in blockchains, making it more porous and increase in tax rate.

I am definitely not going to feel bad for any one who actually leaves their funds on exchanges because I believe that it's risky and doesn't show they have a good understanding of what an exchange is all about.

It is ignorance that causes some people to leave their funds on an exchange. Many experienced members tend to do it so newbies to the space just copy them also stall on exchanges.
All we can do is try to educate as many people as possible of the dangers associated with it.
