Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. This clip is revealing. He has no clue, believes in the "institution". The power, he says, comes from credibility. Wait until the market teaches him the reality of $107 trillion in debt vs. $6.7 trillion actual dollars.

My friend @HeyTaiZen discovered this like 6 months ago, he called me about it back in August or early September and was complaining how @Ledger is ignoring his findings as he did his best to warn the company. * I had no proof personally so going public on my end would have been a bit irresponsible. To this day leger remains one of the least user friendly & irresponsible wallet companies that I have never recommended and never will!

Now the truth finally comes out that the state of New York wants the Amish people‘s properties and land so they can build their data centers. How disgusting 🤮  The Amish of Central New York told the seditious Governor Kathy Hochul they would pack up, abandon their farms and leave if the Governor tried forcing vaccines on their children. The Governor fined them over $100,000 and demanded they comply anyway. When the Amish decided to fight back, taking the wicked Governor to court, Hochul's minion Senator Fahy drew up even more legislation to pressure them to leave, attacking their children again, this time through an anti-homeschooling bill. Tens of thousands of acres of cleared Amish farmland are at stake. The Amish have spent decades clearing their land by hand and horse. The hard work has been done. But if the Governor has her way, the Amish will be forced to sell that cleared land to the solar farms and data centers knocking on the doors for it. Who will help the Amish stand up to this maniacal Governor? We need to expose this on social media and we need to get the right people involved to represent the Amish and help them fight This evil demonic power and control of New York. 

My point of view is simple. To the degree that self custody is likely always going to be complex, difficult and require a significant knowledge base we should be open and honest about that. What we shouldn’t be doing is going around screeching about our dice rolls, our clear case or our favorite collaborative custody provider being the perfect solution to xyz self custody attack vector. There are trade offs for every custody solution. It’s best we reset the culture a bit by discussing them openly and honestly without coloring them with ideology. If everyone is having too much fun screeching about their thing being the best though than please be my guest…

Buying direct from the vendor isn't a magic solution either. As Snowden revealed all too clearly, shipments can and are intercepted.

Taxes should be based on the purchase price of the house and not jacked up prices every year.
