Right, I never said you can trust exchanges. You do not have to use an exchange. That's the whole point of the decentralised nature of cryptocurrencies.

The idea that ordinary people will (reliably, securely, safely) manage their own cryptocurrency holdings without using an exchange (or similar service) is ludicrous. This is blind techno-utopianism at its worst, and does nothing for humanity or society.

Further you need to trust the devs writing the algorithms as well.

BTC forked shifting much of the value of BTC onto another blockchain. If it happens again, you have to remain vigilant to recoup your value.

Give it up. Bcash is worthless. The value is absolutely in the real Bitcoin, BTC. Bcash is and always a scam that only fools fell for.

That wasn't the argument. Self governance of the project was the argument. If it happened once, it can surely happen again.

Then what are you talking about? Nothing was moved…
