I'm a Russian living in Germany for almost 10 years.

Recently I found out that I'm not allowed to buy anything on the cryptocurrency exchanges because I'm now listed as a sanctioned person. This happened when I tried to transfer money to Pocket to buy some Sats. Then I decided to try Binance, and I could not authorize my account with a German residence permit, where my nationality is listed as Russian.

Now think about how absurd this is: Someone who sits in the EU Parliament, paid by MY taxes, decides how I can spend MY money that I honestly earned and paid taxes on.

This is exactly what makes me so bullish on Bitcoin, because no one can decide how and what I should spend my money on.

To me, that's the same as someone saying: "We don't want you to officially buy Bitcoin with full KYC - find another way to do it!".

Okay, np. Thanks arikisonfire (nprofile…wuh4) for pointing me to RoboSats.

Keep fighting for your financial independence!
