EU age control is good, but why not have everything combined, before you can go online: to prove that you are of legal age, that you are not a terrorist or a child predator, that you are not far-right, that you are not North Korean or Iranian, that your funding sources are legal and transparent, that you did not acquire your citizenship through investment, that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19, and that you are not a politically exposed person? It would be simpler and more honest.
Common sense is now labeled hard-right.

Vielleicht hast du es falsch verstanden, der Teil mit 'gelassen bleiben' stammt von Coinfinity.
Was mein Verständnis von MiCA, Travel Rule, DAC8 betrifft, bin ich auf dem Niveau, auf dem ich auf einen anderen Kontinent gewechselt habe, denn ich möchte für niemanden Polizei spielen.
Viele Grüße!

Der Teil am Ende mit 'gelassen bleiben' rundet alles ab. 🤦♂️

Before and after.
More and more often, the baddies prove to be the best. Europe’s salvation will come from the East, not from the West.
That too.
And of course he couldn’t resist the chance to virtue-signal about a system that is profoundly corrupt.
In the screenshot, you have Vitalik Buterin's position regarding the EU🇪🇺 critics.
I wonder how Satoshi Nakamoto's stance would have looked regarding the disastrous way Brussels acts toward the citizens of the EU.
I'm sure it would be completely opposite to the position of this pathetic shitcoiner.
While announcing a €120 million fine on X for deceptive practices, the EU Commission's account features a video thumbnail that links to an article rather than expanding the video itself, cleverly manipulating ad tools to inflate its reach.

X terminates the Europeans Commission's ad account.
The Commission is slapping X with a fine for 'deception,' all while they try to resurrect a zombie ad account to game the system and boost their propaganda with a sneaky trick.
I forgot the most important part... Build circular communities wherever you get the chance, the more people directly accept and spend bitcoin with each other (shops, services, friends, neighbors, coworkers), the less you ever need to touch the surveilled fiat system. The larger the circle, the more unstoppable the network becomes.
Play by your own rules.
For the phrase "untraceable power Satoshi unleashed: money that can't be censored, seized, or spied on," I was questioned by Monero bros, so I am providing clarification on why this formulation is valid.
Every time a government has tried to censor, seize, or fully surveil economic activity in the last years, someone using nothing more than a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet and basic privacy practices has defeated them. MiCA, Travel Rule, exchange KYC mandates, address blacklisting attempts, and multi-million-dollar surveillance contracts are not the actions of governments who feel safe. They are the actions of institutions that finally understand Satoshi actually delivered: a form of money that can, in practice, be censorship-resistant, seizure-resistant, and (with modest discipline) surveillance-resistant.
To stay censorship-resistant, seizure-resistant, and surveillance-resistant, never put your bitcoin on any KYC exchange or custodian, never reuse addresses, acquire and spend only through direct P2P, in-person cash trades, run your own node, use CoinJoin/PayJoin/Silent Payments when moving on-chain, and do everyday spending over Lightning.
Do only that, nothing illegal required, and no government on Earth can freeze, confiscate, or reliably track your money today.
That’s the entire “don’t play by their rules” strategy in one sentence: use Bitcoin the way Satoshi built it, not the way regulators wish you would.
They just make it impossible for you to turn Monero back into real-world spending power without jumping through insane hoops.
No merchant acceptance, no payment processors, no payroll, no loans, no mortgages, no nothing in the “legal” economy. You end up with the most private money that buys you… almost nothing useful outside small P2P circles.
That’s a cage with golden bars, not a Wonderland.
I understand your pure ideological winner approach regarding Monero, yet the reality will bring you down on earth when you use it as a day to day currency.
You’re free… as long as you never want to buy a house, pay taxes legally, receive your salary, shop in internet, or do anything that 99.9 % of humanity does daily.
That’s not freedom, that’s exile with extra steps.
Back to my post. Our problem, all of us, is that part of the world is trying to be tyrannical. So if you don't want to completely exile yourself from areas that trend towards authoritarianism, you need to find solutions to be able to live. You use Monero, I use Bitcoin. Fine. Instead of directing your energy to fight me, combat the real enemy.
#Monero gives them the power to completely block you
I can also "just ignore those tyrants and transact freely."
You Monero bros forget that you have even bigger problems than Bitcoin. Yet instead of fighting the tyrants, you just shill your coin wherever you see a Bitcoin post about privacy.
If you think Monero is perfect, then good luck, enjoy your life.
Bro, no one is crying. Just let's see who delivers what in 2025. The EU won't be around forever.
KYC is the main issue, not traceability itself. Even if you manage to execute a perfect CoinJoin and break the on-chain link, when you try to convert back to fiat or use a regulated service, the Travel Rule requires you to prove the origin of the funds.
MiCA + Travel Rule + the power to 'remove' you even when you temporarily achieve privacy.
Very true!
Personally, I'm surprised by the lack of response to such an attack. A year ago, hardly anyone was writing about what was to come. Even now, there isn't much interest.
Even if YOU are immune today, MiCA does one key thing:
It turns the 99 % who don’t know or don’t want to use privacy tools into involuntary informants against you, because every chain still starts with them (KYC fiat → BTC → you).
MiCA isn’t just “a tax on stupidity.”
It’s a deliberate attempt to kill the option of private transactions for everyone, including you, in the long run.
So no, it’s not “the fault of naive users.”
It’s the atack of a system that wants to turn Bitcoin’s voluntary transparency into mandatory surveillance for all.
"The EU will fall apart within the next 3 years." - the sooner, the better.
MiCA: The EU's Stealth Attack on Bitcoin's Soul
MiCA isn't regulation, it's a declaration of war on what makes Bitcoin revolutionary. Fully enforced since Dec 30, 2024, this EU regime mandates KYC for every crypto service provider (CASP), enforces the "Travel Rule" to track and share transaction data across borders, and bans platforms from admitting assets with "inbuilt anonymization functions" like mixers or privacy tools. It's the biggest assault yet on anonymous Bitcoin holding, shredding financial privacy at its core.
This isn't about "consumer protection", it's a direct hit on financial anonymity, forcing every satoshi's origin and destination into the surveillance dragnet.
Governments fear the untraceable power Satoshi unleashed: money that can't be censored, seized, or spied on. MiCA subjugates that independence, turning sovereign individuals into tracked subjects in a digital panopticon. It's the most dangerous bid to crush personal financial sovereignty under bureaucratic bootheels.
The irony? It won't work.
Non-compliant firms and individuals will flee the EU like rats from a sinking ship, routing to freer waters.
Bitcoin doesn't bend, it flows. It'll thrive in jurisdictions that honor privacy, sovereignty, and true anonymity, places with decentralized networks or pro-freedom havens that reject this monstrosity.
Bitcoin was born to escape fiat tyrants. MiCA just proves they're terrified.
Stack sats, stay pseudonymous, and watch the empire crumble.
#Bitcoin #MiCA #FinancialFreedom
On December 1, 2025, Poland's President Karol Nawrocki made a significant decision by vetoing a 300-page crypto bill. This legislation aimed to implement EU MiCA regulations along with additional measures, such as a 0.4% tax on transactions and powers to block websites. President Nawrocki expressed concerns that these provisions could pose risks to innovation, hinder startups, and infringe on personal freedoms.

Every job tied to fiat currency is, in essence, a job tied to Bitcoin. The choice is yours: remain captive to a corrupt system or break free from its chains. Time is on your side, so it’s best to start today, because it’s a race between you and them. Institutions are already seizing this opportunity, where do you stand?
Bitcoin was designed for us, not for them, yet it’s here for everyone.

What I like about Bitcoin is that it allows me to have more time for myself.
Trajan’s war on the Dacians, a civilization in what is now Romania, was the defining event of his 19-year rule. The loot he brought back was staggering. One contemporary chronicler boasted that the conquest yielded a half million pounds of gold and a million pounds of silver, not to mention a fertile new province.
