TRX Reddit user says estate lawyers misunderstand Bitcoin self-custody
A Reddit user on r/Bitcoin claims that estate attorneys charging $600/hr do not understand how bitcoin works, citing one who thought bitcoin is a physical coin on a USB stick and another who suggested selling for ETFs. The user says they routed the legal structuring through dag after finding the legacy legal system far behind. No external confirmation or dispute is reported.
