I'm going to revive my Vanguard account. Moved all my money to Fidelity a while back because my current and last job use them for their 401ks. I can change my regular brokerage contributions over to them though and offset a handful of broke crypto bro boycotters.

FSKAX tax inefficiency is annoying me anyway, VTI does it better.

Could also just hold/buy VTI at Fidelity. I think overall the website/platform is better and easier to use at Fidelity and Schwab than Vanguard. Nothing wrong with a Vanguard brokerage account either though and I still have a decent amount of my stuff held directly with them in a Vanguard brokerage account.

It's kind of laughable to think that any kind of boycott of Vanguard is going to do anything though. They have a staggering amount of assets under management. They are pioneers in low cost index funds. Most people still opt for their funds even after no cost index funds were introduced by Fidelity and others since Vanguard's expense ratio is so low it's almost a no cost. And it's not like the people that would boycott over this are likely to be paying for Vanguard's personal advisor service either.

I prefer Satan, at least he doesn't rip off his followers with worthless cryptos.

There's been a lot of that going around lately.
Is it surprising? Christianity lost it's mojo. Trump took over, and converted them all to false-doctrinal hypocrites and liars.

The younger generations can see that, and they are more critically evaluating their stance towards organized religion scams.

I prefer Satan
Satan: Come on, be a whore. You know you want to. It's so liberating and fun.

Follower: OK. Yes, I'm a whore now. Yes, so much fun!

Satan: Yes, go on. Dive into it deeper and deeper!

Follower: I'm in too deep. I don't know anything else. There are younger, better whores out there now. What do I do now?

Satan: Should've thought about that when you became a whore. Get lost. You are on your own. I've no time for you. Plenty of young people need my help in becoming a whore.

Only christians ses being a whore as a negative. Satan doesn’t judge you.

Coz he's too busy whispering these lies in the ears of unwitting humans: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org...even-lies-satan-wants-you-to-believe?lang=eng
The good thing about being atheist is that discussing religious characters are at the same level as discussing characters from Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.
Obviously religion plays a large part of humanity, our history and culture, but when trying to portrait God or Satan as "characters" with personality, I can do nothing but smile.

You know, I have a sneaky suspicion that atheists are immune to Satan's whispers. Or rather, Satan figures, why waste time whispering to these people who don't even believe in God's existence? Actually, it's even dangerous for him coz if he whispers to an atheist, the atheist, driven by his scientific mind, is gonna ask questions like where is this voice coming from and devise some sort of methodology to isolate his own thoughts from those being "whispered" to him. This would give rise to the invention of a Satan Detector, especially if enough atheist scientists get behind the effort. Satan is obviously scared of that because once he is found out, his weakness can be found out too coz there is nothing in existence that is without flaws. Then he would become the hunted. Wow. Thanks, man! You helped me solve a mystery!

This is also why atheists are some of the most moral, ethical people on the planet. They have such innocent, unadulterated pure minds uncorrupted by evil satanic thoughts that they have no idea how to be evil or even if they do, they fail to see what would be the point of being evil.

Take me for an example. I have the worst evil thoughts in my head. I always shudder when I see a fly or an insect because the immediate thought that enters my mind upon seeing it is, CRUSH IT! Half my existence is battling my evil thoughts and shuddering at the consequences of my worst possible actions.

I remember coming home from the weekly Sunday indoctrination school and going down into the basement to play with the HO race car and train sets. Moving people around and making things go Vroom. I thought, Hey, I'm God!

That's how silly the notion of 'God' ... and crypto is.
