River is a good company and I've used them since 2022, but I'm not a fan of leaving my Bitcoin on an exchange or leaving my Fiat in an account that isn't covered by FDIC or SIPC insurance.

It's a cool feature, but if Lead bank (their partner) fails, who knows if you'll ever see that Fiat. Not much different than neobanks.

I was a loyal WaMu customer in 2008, that was a lesson learned, especially after coming under Dimon's control.

I like Leishman and what he and his team on doing, but you can never be too cautious.

I own three of these devices, one of them is a branded NerdAxe. They are awesome devices and a great and cheap way to get into home mining.

I've used River for a few years now and they've been great and continue to add features. I have even used their hosted mining service when they offered it and it was a great experience as well and good introduction to mining. I know host my rigs at home. It's a good company with solid leadership team!

These banks continue the same old practices over and over again. It's ridiculous...

It's crazy how some things have changed so much and others remain relatively the same.
