For paying taxes, Matthew 17:24-27, and for submitting to earthly authority and not being an anarchist, Luke 22:49 onwards. He gets arrested, one of his followers tries to fight back and cuts off a soldiers ear, which Jesus rebuked him for and immediately heals, and then even directly asks the soldiers "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?".
In Matthew 26:
He submitted to everything that happened thereafter, eventually leading to his death on a cross. In yielding to earthly authority here, he was yielded to God.

OK, so your issue is with government, and how their evil must then invalidate Romans 13. Jesus as a tax evading anarchist is more a wish than reality, because otherwise I'm sure you're thinking "how could He let this happen, and tell us to obey". But that doesn't mean we cherry pick or twist scripture ourselves.
I'll send you one last link as its getting late, but it seems to address this well. After which I'll close, as someone living under a government so corrupt that they've run our electricity supply into the ground, and who did not get vaccinated. So trust me, I know. And I'm not here to fight with you, just addressed what I feel is a mischaracterisation of Jesus.
We win in the end, not now.
What's false about it? Romans 13 is unambiguous, you can read it yourself without any explanation. Is your issue with the explanation, or Romans 13 itself?

OK, here's another one, deals with more verses, not narrowly focused on Matthew 22, let me know what you think
Was not against taxes 😬
Think it's time to start trawling the bottom of the sea for lost #Bitcoin
First of all these ETF's are cash settled, so to what extent Blackrock will accumulate "all the Bitcoin", I'm not worried. Even if they somehow managed to pry Bitcoin from our cold, dead hands, 6.25 more are created every 10 minutes, and not by Blackrock. That 6.25 is what pays for mining, Blackrock can't take it from them before they sell it to keep mining going, and they won't sell it if the price doesn't pay their bills. And even if that were true, and miners couldn't afford to mine any more, and switched off their machines, then what? The difficulty to mine would drop until it was affordable again, and they'd come back. And you want to tell me Blackrock wants to buy all the Bitcoin in the world, spend all that, and then make sure it's worth nothing? Please.
This article wants you to sell, straight into their hands. Ignore.

nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp evaluates passphrase backups as "mediocre" and considers SeedXOR the superior alternative. He argues that passphrases are flawed due to their 2-2 setup, posing a risk of losing funds if one part is lost. Nevertheless, the same vulnerability exists for SeedXOR (2-2, 3-3, …). I don’t see any downside as long as the passphrase has a 256 bit entropy. Multiple backups are essential for both solutions.
Lopp on Passphrase backup:
„This gives you a security model that's the same as a 2 of 2 multisig setup. Do you know why 2 of 2 multisig isn't popular? Because it has 2 single points of failure - if you lose either part, you're screwed. I've seen quite a few people over the years get locked out of their funds because they forgot or lost the passphrase that accompanied their seed phrase.“
Lopp on SeedXOR backup:
„Seed XOR is, in my opinion, a superior way to achieve the properties that folks try to get with a "25th word passphrase" or via naive seed splitting, while decreasing the complexity and improving plausible deniability. Note that this is essentially an N of N (2-of-2 / 3-of-3 / etc) split backup, so you're going to want multiple sets of XOR'd backups to ensure that losing a single plate doesn't cause catastrophic loss.“
Not using a passphrase decreases the complexity and points of failure of the setup, which he values more than outright security, since a complex (secure) setup is useless if you forget or lose access to the details, and is best left to advanced users, or the company he works for - wink.
He's writing to the masses, where an XOR'd set of seed words lets you have a simpler setup, easy to restore, and also includes plausible deniability since each of the XOR seed plates is a valid set of words by itself. An attacker has to know it's one of a set to know there's a larger wallet elsewhere.
The seed+passphrase setup is similar, in that you can load funds onto the seed-only wallet, and you keep the passphrase safe for the "real" wallet. But an attacker now has your entire seed phrase.

Coal power plants near Joburg make the skies gray here, and pretty sure it's what locks in all this heat. They've taken the environmental filters off to do less maintenance, making this worse.
Don't get me wrong, I think South Africa should use coal for baseload on our way to deploying nuclear, just not with zero safeguards. You can just tell that Joburg swims in this smog now.
