I'm no UX/UI guy but come on.

Well, I find it better than sites which just refuse to show you the content.

Can't disagree with you there.

Join as a subscriber (£5 a month) and it goes away ;)

But seriously - I am a very happy £5 subscriber - I don't get any benefits over you, but feel very happy that I'm supporting the paper in the coverage it provides. They don't get everything right, but they are my go to source for news an I'm happy to pay for that.

Remember, if you store coins on an exchanges, they are not your coins. Be the bank.

Bank grade security? What's that?

I'm using a Ledger Nano with password and 24 words seed phrase generated with physical fair dices thrown by me. I'm super safe.

Safe from the wrench? Your comment is the first panel of the comic.
