No need to wait. Policymakers called it as “market failure”, “false positives”, just “some few examples of AML/CFT abuses”. But “majority of western citizens or businesses doesn’t suffer/doesn’t experience such problems”. So of there is no public discussion- no problem. No voices heard in the parliaments about abuses of AMl/CFT laws, - no need to establish remedies during legislative process.
We can’t rely on a thought that debanking abuses are obvious.
They are not.
This was the exactly a problem, when we as Open Dialogue Foundation on behalf of BTC Coalition promoted amendments to #AML regulation in the #EU and revisions of #FATF travel rule recommendations in the #US.
Our amendments were rejected during trilog process simply because no voices from the business industry, including #bitcoin were with us. https://en.odfoundation.eu/a/725781,building-true-change-btc-coalition-submission-on-the-eu-proposal-for-a-regulation-on-the-prevention-of-money-laundering-or-terrorist-financing/
We need to join voices victims of the weaponized banking data transnationally and debanking victims from businesses representatives to eliminate such abuses !
This is one of the reasons why we want to establish FreedoTech Embassy to eliminate such practices and protect developers, end-users and investors of freedomtech!
Let’s do it together! 🧡
I survived and Im fighting against debanking as a weapon against critical voices used in western countries.
My family, my Open Dialogue Foundation and business company experienced and are overcoming the fact that our financial data was weaponized to destroy reputation, our families, businesses, to isolate us as critics. Same happened with many still silent tech and #bitcoin businesses in the western world to destroy their competitive proposals.
Im grateful that @pmarca nostr:npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r nostr:npub1dc2nfat0e85n0crzxlyt5j6kv272e38p5086h8qkmzfep0kylj3s92u5hg @davidmarcus @joerogan are voicing these tremendous abuses.
Being critical, competitive and effective against governments abusing power should never be claimed as “high risk”.
Abuse of power through AML/CFT laws without any remedy and accountability should be classified as high risk and top priority to fight against it. Let’s join efforts to eliminate these repressive practices!

cc nostr:npub13ajk3hhvqys2ev4y68jwxywgs8fsdsuk4y5gkzs874jdyrccvf5qak2yd9 correct me if I'm wrong nostr:note1p05vgqd6ngexlvpk3mt75qdfg868k4yglenu0xv96llkn22r8uqshltj40
All correct. And we should join forces to kill this and similar zombies. 🧡💪
WHY WE NEED FREEDOMTECH EMBASSY IN BRUSSELS NOW
With many voices at nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv in #Amsterdam expressing very correct assessments of the discriminatory policy approach in the #EU against Bitcoin and now following the proposed by the European Central Bank analysts, I want to recall two important aspects:
🔴 First, well known: the #ECB states explicitly by saying their main goal is to “disincentivise investment in Bitcoin mining”. ECB frame it as "a climate risk priced into crypto-assets", in fact attacking PoW and Bitcoin mining. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/financial-stability-publications/macroprudential-bulletin/html/ecb.mpbu202207_3~d9614ea8e6.en.html
🔴Now for the lesser known, but most important to assess the risks of their latest so-called analyses - the EU's drafting of a regulation to expand the European Central Bank's supervisory powers over crypto-assets, which potentially gives the ECB endless power to attack #Bitcoin and implement its discriminatory regulatory proposals.
This information was re-confirmed in August 2024 by the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON). https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2024/755728/IPOL_STU(2024)755728_EN.pdf
🟡 From the ECON’s study we know that:
🔻 Since 2022, key topics discussed by the ECB with policymakers are (1) the ECB's banking supervision programme on the importance of the role of banks in the transition to a digitalised and carbon-neutral economy; (2) response for the emerging risks from the crypto sector and non-financial banking institutions; (3) the energy crisis;
🔻 ECB is increasingly consulted on future regulatory priorities, and on its stance regarding new legislation that is being negotiated with the Commission and the Council;
🔻 ECB response focusses on banks’ ESG risks which it considers a threat for banks and financial stability overall, therefore having made it a supervisory priority;
🔻 ECB mentions that it assesses, jointly with European Banking Authority (EBA), whether ESG risks should be reflected in regulatory capital requirements.
And these attacks continue and in parallel echo in developing Bitcoin mining ban in Norway, Iceland, discriminative taxation in Italy and Netherlands, classification self-hosted wallets p2p transactions as high risk transactions in the AML Regulation and by the biggest political groups in German Bundestag, development AML Authority supervision with particular focus on crowdfunding companies and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), implementation of MiCA regulation by Denmark with attempt to classify mob apps like self-hosted wallets as “interface providers”, discussion of the categorisation of lighting as a “money transmitter”...
🟢What we can do together:
🔻Join Open Dialogue Foundation to establish a #FreedomTech embassy in Brussels. Let's bring together expertise and resources to develop a safe regulatory environment in the European Single Market for Bitcoin miners, investors, developers and end-users.
🔻Let’s systematically protect our FreedomTech and educate policymakers, media, academia. Let’s say loudly about wrong approach of ECB on Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining specifically.
The U.S. bitcoiners have made Bitcoin protection a reality and continue to do so. 💪🧡
We should and can do it in the EU as well.
Love golden autumn 🧡 
. nostr:npub1dnzzyhmewrzkh862z7z2shwmhh5htx0rvkagepj2fkgst9ptwg3qj4x52h is right, challenges for #freedomtech #bitcoin are high as never before. While enjoying freedom tools people tend to forget about the need to fight for and defend them, its developers.
Let’s defend our Proof-of- Work and privacy, so we don’t need to live in the world of mass surveillance and Proof-of-Mistake nostr:note1dq73n554lt36qsyzzxn8s28f9t8sasvhqcy8ky0t8rkjpeyh4eys9uccrz
Together with Dorien Rookmaker, nostr:npub1s6z7hmmx2vud66f3utxd70qem8cwtggx0jgc7gh8pqwz2k8cltuqrdwk4c and nostr:npub1hrnt73hppyc5v9h7ynnv0cn90yd97t6we9dw32s46ug845jsm33sktjsct we will discuss tomorrow at nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv in #Amsterdam: How to Guard Privacy Tools & Developers.
Come at 11 am on Stage : Bull Arena
Case of arbitrary de-riskig @BitsagaBe is one of the clear examples why #AML Regulation has discriminatory approach to tech developers.
It destroys EU’s #competitiveness , which EU Commission and ECB are promoting right now. We need urgently address this problem. The best place to have a debate with all parties involved/affected in the Europarlament.
If you are in #Antwerp today, let’s meet up! Amazing atmosphere at the Future of #Bitcoin 2024 🧡 
According to procedures it should be discussed again in December. But we are not just following football, so just enough to be active and coordinate. So you guys can have safe environment to build more #freedomtech 🧡
NO PRIVACY, NO FREEDOM ✊
Join our discussion to support privacy and #Bitcoin in #Amsterdam!
Who is coming there? Let’s meet 🧡 
Привет, nostr:npub13ajk3hhvqys2ev4y68jwxywgs8fsdsuk4y5gkzs874jdyrccvf5qak2yd9
You or anyone else is welcome to translate Damus. Damus supports the Russian language but not yet Kazakh or Kyrgyz. All three languages need translations.
Ok. How to do it technically? Can you DM me?
You need to see my main message. I agree that it is just a win of battle, but not the war.
#ChatControl removed today from the agenda. One more tactical victory but not yet winning war in defense of privacy.
Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this result and supported our calls.
Your repost, your call and meeting with politicians MATTERS.
Enjoy our effective fight for privacy and human rights!
nostr:npub13ajk3hhvqys2ev4y68jwxywgs8fsdsuk4y5gkzs874jdyrccvf5qak2yd9 whats the tech sophistication of the folks mirroring the files?
Level 1: grandma level (be me)
Level 2: comfortable with self-hosting servers
Level 3: galaxy brain dev
Like 👼 so we need to explain and then translate into several local languages like for 5 years old child 🧒
YOUR VOICE MATTERS AND MAKES DIFFERENCE 🧡💪
