In order to gain access to third-party services through Ledger Live, you understand and acknowledge that your location information, including your IP address, may be collected on behalf of and checked by selected partners in order to meet their own AML/KYC requirements.

With no way to update the firmware or the apps on your Ledger device without going through this piece of software, then it is essentially impossible to use a Ledger device privately.

A VPN will get around that, but I guess it get's back to what has been being said about them for a while that they should not be trusted.
As I posted above, the issue is not us, it's them and everyone else that uses & promotes them.
Bitching about what they do amongst ourselves is fine, but we have to spend time educating others about what they do.

Serious thought, Ledger has already made it 100% clear that they don't care about their customers. They are not even trying to hide it. But they are selling a ton of devices. So, the question is WHAT are they doing that other manufacturers are not? And if the other manufacturers do the same will they pull sales from Ledger? And if not why not? This is something we should be discussing. I have my own thoughts, but I am interested in what other people think.

I spent wayyyyy to much time the other day pointing out why someone I know should stop using his ledger, I might as well been talking to my cat for all the progress I made with him. But I tried. This is just another thing we will have to talk people out of.

4% cashback in XLM, and if you use USDC to fund it, since it's a 'stablecoin', there are no tax implications.

Are you paying those crazy high ethereum transaction fees for every transaction you make with your card?

Sorry missed this the other day, just 1 transfer to Coinbase with the 1 fee and it just pulls from my USDC balance.
They also pay some small amount of interest on USDC.
But if you are going to spend crypto on stuff instead of holding it, I'll take 4% back.
As I have posted in other places here, my privacy & anonimity are already gone since I am a long time Coinbase user, so I might as well make the best of it.
