Fair. Crypto is not just ftx/investment tho. It’s also a mean to transfer wealth outside of your country. It might be risky but any option is better than none

I don’t understand your point. Are you implying that people don’t have access to western finance because they are not sophisticated enough? If you don’t luck into being born with good citizenship lots of things you might take for granted a

I didn't intend to put a blame of invasion on a single soldier. But I do put blame on a soldier, that he came to another country to kill people there for no good reason. There is a choice

This is quite sad that your reasons for lack of support of the wars are that you (an invader) had a bad time there, not that you were part of the force destabilising and destroying another country

They are definitely not doing identification (1:whole_database) for payment, that would be ridiculous. I'm sure they are matching against very small subset. Most likely they are getting data from mobile phone operators on who's cu

I strongly disagree with that idea. Voters must know exactly how much they are paying for something for them to care about efficiency of government spendings. What you are proposing is how things currently work in Russia and trust me you d

No, I don't want any foreign army in the Belarus obviously. My point is that Lukashenko already lost support of majority of Belorussians, so making life worse for common people does nothing except it produces unnecessary misery. I agre

Lukashenko already has much less than 50% support of the ppl and he has lost his last elections. But he holds the power by force. What do you want Belorussians to do, go and die fighting the police?

So you are ok with your broker restricting your investment options, because one of hedge funds they sell your order flow to made a bunch of dumb decisions which put the whole market into very fragile position?

You are right that a big part of retail will be left with enormous losses. But that doesn't in any way excuses brokers who manipulate price letting only SELL orders in
