About to set up my trezor, any tips y'all have for me would be appreciated. I want to make sure I get it right
Here is the non-participation link to the misleading thread which moderators of r/Bitcoin have not labeled or removed for the last 18 hours despite it being utterly false information.

Those who want to really inform themselves on issues regarding Bitcoin should not take headlines in /r/Bitcoin or elsewhere at face value. There are large amounts of disinformation shills active in that censored subreddit, but also in other places - even on this sub since speech is free here.
Their activities are to discredit this subreddit, it's users and Bitcoin Cash.
Equip yourselves with the truth and let's keep making Bitcoin cash everywhere people would like to enjoy financial sovereignty.
To the moderators of that censored sub: Letting such false information spread unchallenged under the umbrella of your censorship shows your extreme bias. You are unfit in any way to represent the Bitcoin I love.
Kroger and Visa are having a spat about 'excessive' fees that 'drive up food prices', Hey Kroger, it is time for Plan B, or at least Plan C, look into some cryptocurrencies for your future billing etc,
"Visa's excessive fees and unfairness cannot continue to go unchecked
Visa says "It is unfair and disappointing that Kroger is putting shoppers in the middle of a business dispute."
Hey Visa, funny you mention the word middle, because we want less middle men not more,
We do not need middle men from here on out

What a tool. Even the BTC devs say BTC is a store of value, not for transacting. I can't wait for Twatter to join MySpace on the trash pile of historic failures. With all the censoring going on it won't take long.
Ok for me but, what reliable « Fiat gateway » to use in Europe ? Binance ? Hum... got registred there but for now don’t see how to BTC\EUR then withdrawal Euros to my bank account. Kraken ? Hum got there 1 year ago and their infra dont seem solid enough to me (wasn’t able to log in for days)
Ideas, suggestions? Preferably with no KYC
How do YOU do ?
