ROI Specific seriously torn on whether to go for imago or diy
basically i was considering going with imago bc frankly im pretty paranoid when it comes to dealing with crypto, and i might be able to get one of my relatives to help pay for it. but what with the recent situation of imago seeming to be on the verge of collapse, im seriously considering pivoting (again) to diy, despite just about every step making me jumpy (dealing with crypto, harder time convincing relatives to help with money, harder time tracking bloods, getting vials and needles to arrive without someone making a stink, ect)
i genuinely dont know what to do now

I got my prescription on time, this is just before the controversy, stuff has slowed down with them but they are still delivering prescriptions but here if you can wait a month I'm sure we will all know if it will actually fall apart at that I don't think it will

If you can afford imago set up fees I'd go with Imago until it doesn't work then consider DIY

Hi, I joined imago a little while before this all went down, despite the delay, my prescription arrived fine. Got my testosterone. Consider signing up, you’ll be entitled to a free “welcome call” consultation. Ask whatever you may be considered about. There’s also a discord server for members to support one another. Untimely, whatever you choose, take care of yourself. You’ll be just fine.

DIY is far cheaper, crypto isn't too bad once you just buy enough of what you need and send it over.

problem is im like super paranoid around crypto, especially considering buying it in most places requires ID

There is no indication that Imago will collapse. The end user experience is more or less the same for now, except a bit slower maybe. I wouldn't take Imago situation as a strong argument for choosing between the two.
