I meet people new to bitcoin who buy on coinbase. All these ETFs use coinbase as custodian of their bitcoin. Custody is becoming centralized in one place. If you have been around a while you know that coinbase crashes on high volume. Why would a small holder want to be part of this? They promote shitcoins. This company holds an enormous amount of other people's bitcoin.
Get your coins off all exchanges. Self custody. Holding your own keys is not just for us paranoid crypto anarchists.

Unfortunately yes. Welcome to the world of censorship resistance. It's worth these inconveniences. Always question it when anyone reaches out to you, and especially a supposed famous influencer. You can usually tell the real accounts of famous people by their # of followers. It can be frustrating.

Good idea. I will keep a link to your substack handy. Unfortunately most of these people are just looking to catch a big pump and then sell it for more fiat ponzi. They don't really deserve your guides.

It started again yesterday. The texts, emails, and telephone calls. "Hey, aren't you into that whole bitcoin thing?" "Should I get in?" I'm tempted to just say no, rather than try to explain it, AGAIN, but that wouldn't be a good ambassador. They will all vanish during the next dump anyway.

So, TD Bank is guilty of money laundering. In their centralized fiat world, the officers and directors have no criminal liability even though the bank affirmatively helped in opening the accounts. Down the road they may arrest the little guy who actually worked with the alleged criminals, but the big guys pay a fine as the cost of doing business, and continue to operate.
Meanwhile two guys who just wrote software sit in jail.
This is justice?

It's not crazy at all. Game theory. It is now clear that the U.S. constitution isn't going to prevent this. Even if it does, do you really want to sit around and wait until these issues are eventually decided by the Supreme Court? Time to move on to more welcoming jurisdictions.
