Replying to Avatar Low Information Voter

My wife's brother lives in a country where you can get 10 years jail and have your assets seized for being party to a Bitcoin transaction. (Nothing else needs to be proved: no malicious intent, no harm, no deception).

Bitcoin is violence, to those who are fiat.

That's terrifying. I am curious what country that is and if your brother in law has any desire to leave.

I don't see bitcoin as violence, but rather as a mirror onto which people project their internal mental state.

The fiat system is violence and so it sees everything oppositing it as violence as well.

I don't want to name the country, it has doxx potential if combined with other things I've said.

Wife left that country because she wanted to be her own person instead of always being known for being her late father's daughter.

BIL, well, he benefits a lot from being his late father's son, and he doesn't mind. He won't leave.

There are a lot of Third World countries with repressive cryptocurrency laws, unfortunately.

I'm very happy that West Africa seems to be bucking the trend!

Totally understood. It's not surprising to hear that repressive countries are banning bitcoin. It'll be interesting to watch what happens when they start missing the boat.

Glad your wife chose to liberate herself 🙂
