I feel like the logical next step is for the author to discover PBX, such as Asterisk or something built on top of it. Then they can call between the two in-house phones and also dial out to the real phone line in an emergency. Just need an

Luckily, crypto has gone mainstream enough that the big Donor Advised Funds now accept them, so you can claim the deduction for your appreciated crypto while donating to most qualified US charities (so long as they take a check in the mail)
