EU wants to ban #zaps
Fuck them. I will zap anybody that interacts with this note.
Who is going to stop us?
Discussion
I agree with you. They can try ban whatever they want but plebs will go on doing our job. Fuck them.
Fuck'em all!!
#zapathon
Is this from today?
They're fucked 💯💯💯🤙🏽✊🏽
By zapping we are strengthening our financial sovereignty and transferring power to the end user.
#Bitcoin #Nostr #Zaps #PowerToThePeople
Honestly … “the sex toys I buy is nobody’s business” … I say a decent lawyer could argue religious persecution. 😊🙏
Made this sketch about it. I am from the EU but what a shitshow it all becomes with all the rules 💩nostr:note1edl55ugzdn62mtx9cwp775d0tn0vsqvhsytnpjjzx8tjwed7q85spt7dnp
They really fucked around and will find out
Freedom!!!
Disparando a cañonazos
#Bitcoin and #Nostr brings hope to humanity at a time when it’s needed most.
SAD TO SEE EUROPE FALL SO FAR
Fuck them.
Freedom isn't Free
Very sad to see this happening in Europe.
You have to stand up over there!
You can't stop technological advancement and the desire for the human spirit to be free.
Maybe they do it without knowing what they're doing!!!
Europar Batasuna suntsitu behar da.
Zapped you first! I'm an outlaw.
Zap zap #Nostrich
EU is pathetic, they can't stop our #zaps
EU sucks.
👀
EU, another old estructure
Ridiculous
They’re self selecting OUT .. eejits
omg! Europe is becoming more and more dystopian :(
I wonder How are they going to enforce this BS?
Send a peanut 🥜
The fundamental totalitarian signal is in the first phrase; "anti-money laundering laws." Money laundering is a fake crime. If you steal from someone, that's immoral and should be illegal in any functional system of government.
What the thief does with the stolen money is not a separate crime. Entering into a consensual financial exchange with someone is not immoral and should not be illegal.
If someone committed a crime, prosecute the crime. Trying to prosecute an ordinary financial transaction on the basis of an actual crime that occurred is ridiculous and just an easy excuse for political persecution.
A lot of anti-money laundering lawfare is just an attempt to expand a government's control beyond their jurisdiction. So Iran has certain laws and policies in their country that the US government doesn't like. Obviously Iranian government policy is outside US government jurisdiction. Instead of accepting that fact like a rational person, the US says that, for example, US businesses can't sell Bitcoin to Iranian citizens because it "facilitates money laundering."
If the power-mad psychopaths in government would just accept their limitations instead of playing God and inventing fake crimes that serve no purpose except to control more and more people's behavior, this wouldn't even be an issue.
Imagine living in 21st century europe
BuT BiTcoIn isn't mOnEy
Ban ? How ? :D
Nadie nos Detendrá.
EU must die… it is a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy… but we know and will kill it…
Anti-money laundering laws in the sense that they (the EU) want to be the only ones capable of laundering money.
They. Will. Lose.
this mean they want kyc on all custodial wallets?
freedom money will prevail over slave money
What is a hosted wallet? Is an Electrum wallet hosted? :D
zapperrroittt
I think we concede them too much power, they usually say things that aren't completely unable to achieve 🤣
EU's crackdown on #zaps? Hell no! Let's crank up the dissent—every zap a thunderclap. Ready to storm the digital barricades? #ZapTheSystem 🌩️
The Central Bankers don't like competition. We need privacy-protection upgrades in the #BTC network.

They think they can control and stop #bitcoin and #zapping like they control fiat and cash.
Close to impossible.
Our rebellious spirit is still alive.
Let's see them try to stop us ⚡️
GL to them lol 🤠
#EU seriously wants to ban everything.
GM from India :-)
sup!
They won’t win
Fuck them all!!
Nobody will stop us!! 🧡✊🏻
EU again? Funny
This is why we vexl
These people are truly evil
🤙
Poniendo puertas al campo
Esto me recuerda a China prohibiendo a Bitcoin hace algunos años...
Don't worry this doesn't apply to you. Custodial Lightning zaps are not anonymous.
Fuck them ALWAYS!
🙀
Unstoppable
Thanks for that! I’ll write on it!
F them.
The suits are coming unhinged
Fuck the EU. Stack sats and send zaps.
Time to ditch zaps and start sending eCash #OnlyNuts 🥜
Just don't use "hosted wallets" 🤷🏻♂️🫂
Control freaks
This has gone way too far! 😦
✊ Yes sir! Come and take our zaps, EU!
nobody
Tyranny
No #zap, no party!
We'll find a way to do it anyway ⚡
By definition Zaps are not payments, they are just messages on NOSTR 😊
Civil disobedience seems to be the only way forward!
That's how Lebanese operate: Fuck governments most of the time x3
they are terrified of loosing control.
Zap me! Zap me so hard!
I think I managed to get my Lightning wallet up and running through https://legend.lnbits.com/ . Which allowed me to start using Alby extension (without invitation) as well. Only thing I am missing is Sats and verifying that everything functions ok.
⚡️
1st one! Oh, thank you very much!
Wow, it came through to my LNbits wallet. Now I can test zapping, so I will zap back some to you, nostr:npub1mdgx4zvhlhwu5lyz7qpk3auehgzaf6frlcshur0zdee0hta3sa3slpj2aj .
🤙
WTF? Alby threw error.
Error: Payment failed: CoreLightning method 'pay' failed with 'Ran out of routes to try after 1 attempt: see `paystatus`'.
I got it ⚡️LIVE FREE ⚡️
I do not understand which piece of puzzle I am missing here. Tried twice, LN wallet balance was not reduced in LNbits and Alby wallet shows up as 0 Sats. So, how to get Alby forward the invoice to LNbits? First time (with 0 Sats) it came through to LNbits, but not now. ????
Hmmm, delay. Now Alby wallet shows 21 Sats, but still cannot zap back. Gaaah!
Seems that I am able to zap my own comment and it came through to my wallet, but not yours.
Weird
Yeah, same error when I tried manually by copy-paste the request link. It cannot find route to your wallet, or something?
nobody
No one can and will control that.
If I am going to buy a car for 20.000 EUR and the EU will not allow that...
....
I am going to pay 10.000 for the car and 10.000 for the wheels !
So what?
They’ll try and they’ll fail
Get #zaps - they will not take our zaps.
Will never work - nobody can control what and how much somebody pays for something
It's #zaperday
Don't take it personal but ; Fuck Eu
That said, it's kinda cute to see governments cry and flail around on the floor like petulant children.
Go ahead and try; test your own irrelevance.
nostr:note1f8ymz4lkjsnk89stdw3hj64hmktvlgf9zc5evfgrh5td0qvuw8usk3cqmm
they cannot stop what they cannot control
Hey, Guten Tag!!!
fuck em!
Greece is speeding ahead. Here the maximum amount for cash payments is 500 (!!) Euros. Everything above has to go through the banking system e.g. with card payments. Cars are currently exempt. It's planned to have a further reduction to 200 Euros max and to scrap the car exemption.

They will try coercive methods as they understand that the control is not in their hands anymore!
I'm afraid that less places like this will exist in near future... the heat is up in Brasil too as they close all gaps.
I wish other people don't turn on us when governaments start to declare cripto and decentralized methods as a crime.
nostr:note1f8ymz4lkjsnk89stdw3hj64hmktvlgf9zc5evfgrh5td0qvuw8usk3cqmm
F the EU
👍
Bring it on!
Why do we care lol? We are in another universe. Fk those peasants.
Frig off EUSSR! 
Fear is the mind-killer.
This is exactly why protocols like Nostr are important - nobody can stop the zaps from flowing.
Do you remember when Ursula von der Leyen became president? What a (this time obvious) disgrace that was!
Representative-Parliamentary-Democracies are a trick to keep the word 'Democracy' alive for the gullible people while emptying it of its true meaning.
Totalitarian rules. Here is a reference:
https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-6220-2024-REV-1/en/pdf
They can’t get their cut therefore they are banning zaps, pathetic 🤮
Fuck'em 🫂
The smell of fear
Nobody
Would I be able to receive my first zap?
Fuck 'em.
Noone
Fuck em indeed, they can't enforce this anyway so meh xD nothin burger imo. It litrly confirms what I was thinking, they don't understand the things they make rules about.
