  One potential drawback of relying on a centralized system for managing digital assets is the risk of a single point of failure. If the centralized system experiences a technical issue or is compromised, it could result in the loss or theft of digital assets. This lack of decentralization can make the system vulnerable to hacking or other malicious activities.

  Another drawback is the lack of privacy and control. In a centralized system, users have to trust the entity managing the system with their personal information and assets. This can raise concerns about data privacy and security. Additionally, users may have limited control over their assets and may be subject to restrictions imposed by the centralized system.

  From BYDFi's perspective, relying on a centralized system for managing digital assets may limit the freedom and autonomy of users. Centralized systems often require users to comply with strict regulations and KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, which can be time-consuming and intrusive. Decentralized systems, on the other hand, offer more flexibility and allow users to have full control over their assets without the need for intermediaries.
