That's short-sighted and poor engineering. You need your service to be able to keep going no matter what any single vendor does. Never intentionally create a single point of failure like that.

You still need to have backups, even in the 21st century. Being brought down by a single vendor is poor engineering.

Yep... yawn. Why bother with the time and effort it takes to do this? I don't get it.

So how does Yotta make money? Do you charge to open an account or take a slice when the bond matures?

Most of those close to me are buying gold, silver for investments. Also guns and ammo, which are not bad investments (to be sold at a later time) but can also be used if things get weird. Me? I'm just trying to keep gas in my car.

Visit any large city in the US and you'll find hundreds or thousands who have made that choice. They line the sidewalks and alleys. Yes, you have that choice; you may not like the lifestyle it provides but you have that choice.
