Try sending money to a supplier in Iran or Russia and tell me how helpful those EU regulations are.
- wpm 1y agoWhy would they need to send money to a supplier in a country that couldn't ship goods to them anyways?
- mrzool 1y agoDon’t get suppliers in Iran or Russia. Easy.
- lacy_tinpot 1y agoJust don't trade. Easy. We're actually supporting free trade by restricting free trade. Because when the government controls what you trade that's what free trade actually is. What an amazingly blatant example of Orwellianism.
- oblio 1y agoWhat happens when you get caught for trading using cryptocurrency, with countries that your home country has made trade illegal with?
- lacy_tinpot 1y agoI was just pointing out how funny the blatant doublespeak was in that comment. What if your home country has made trade illegal? Well guess what your home country does not support free trade. It supports limited trade, which is a perfectly fine position.
- 9dev 1y agoIt’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
- flumpcakes 1y ago"I want to avoid sanctions illegally"
- wiredpancake 1y agoI should be able to transact with anyone, anywhere in the world, near instantly with little or no fees. This isn't some radical, cyberpunk extremist, this is just pure trade. We have technology to facilitate this but we've been held back for decades by greed and legislation.
- thoroughburro 1y agoI would like to restrict you, yes you personally, from transacting with criminals… because that makes them more powerful and me less safe. I’m sorry that your fellow humans don’t want you shitting up the place, but don’t blame the bog standard norms of civilisation on some sort of government conspiracy.
- _zoltan_ 1y agono, this has nothing to do with anything illegal.
- spookie 1y agoI wonder why...
- _zoltan_ 1y agocheck out the revolut sub on Reddit and you'll see random people getting a ridiculous amount of KYC for even a couple hundred or low thousands of euro.
