Do you need help? We got a lot of do it yourself guides out there and that practice (even if you don't ultimately use it after setting it up) will help you understand self-custody in a way that you can't be rug pulled (no reliance on customer support, no reliance on company software updates, and full understanding of how to take care of yourself)
No, I’m good now. Thanks! But please do link your guides so others can benefit from them.

They might be better off making custodial services instead of deceiving people, it would be clear what their true objective is...
