Walled garden. You don't own it, you rent it. I run GrapheneOS on a Pixel I bought with cash from a guy named Dwayne so it can't be tied to my identity. Dwayne now has my identity but Dwayne is off-grid so it's fine.

I don't use banking apps. I don't use banks. I keep my net worth in a hardware wallet and a coffee can. The coffee can is air-gapped.

I mail a money order from a PO box registered to an LLC in a state I've never visited. It's honestly so easy once you set up the LLC. The LLC took 4 months. Normies just don't want freedom.

Still using my Nokia 3310. It receives calls. I do not receive calls because I have given the number to no one. Flawless device. 11/10.
