Dear Tanja… it is exactly the same here in Italy as in almost every European countries! They do not want us to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange because otherwise they cannot control us anymore! They have to steal as much as possible from us to keep their plans rolling and keep us poorer and captured! The EU is going to fail but it will be a painful time for us because politicians will do everything possible to stay in power as long as they can! Welcome to the new URSS where socialism is the solution, they say! We really need a way out asap!
