Yes, it was. As long as you didn’t buy more than CA$999 worth of bitcoin a day, you didn’t need KYC.
I wrote an article about how banks are scamming noobs when they try to buy #Bitcoin in #Spain LaCaixa.
When we tried to make a bank tx from La Caixa to Relai, they called us:
-- Good afternoon, we have received a request for a transfer to a Bitcoin exchange in Switzerland; is this correct?
-- Yes, it's correct. I just did it.
-- Well, you need to know that there are many Bitcoin scams and we have an internal policy of not allowing these types of transfers. However, if you want to buy Bitcoin, you should know that we can offer you a secure and guaranteed investment product based on Bitcoin. All you have to do is enter our app and search for the word "Bitcoin," and a list of funds that you can select will appear.
They try to sell you their Bitcoin ETF derivative when you try to exit their scam money!

WTF!? La Caixa is doing that? 🤦🏻♂️
Ánimo, Ivan! Te deseo una pronta recuperación. Get well soon! 💪
The Great Taking.
Really worth a watch!
Bitcoin is the only escape, not because its undeniable properties but because is the only asset out of the system. Everything else will be gone soon.
Thank you, Walker! Unfortunately, I’m having issues setting up my zaps in Primal, which is the app I’m using. When I try to activate my wallet, I get a message saying “Our apologies, we are not able to provide the wallet service in Canada…”. I even watched the video nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 has about primal, as he is in Canada too, and he didn’t have any issues. So it’s weird. I tried to connect a different wallet too but to no avail (although I might be missing something here). If anyone reading this can help, I would really appreciate it. Will let you know when I get this sorted.
In any case, zaps or not, I’m glad you liked my image! 😄
6969 sats to the best visual representation of #Bitcoin cutting the head off gold to pair with this clip of nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8

“Best” determined by my keen eye and/or most zapped reply to this note and/or whoever makes me lol the loudest.
696 sats to anyone who makes a halfway decent visual representation of Bitcoin decapitating gold.

The "first they ingore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win" also works from their end. I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to just ignore them and laugh at them. It's important to be vigilant and call their bullsh*t as soon as possible . IMHO.
In Vancouver that barely covers a two bedroom condo.
Oh, they are going to try that too. Give them time.

Shout out to the nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll Telegram Admin team. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've spent the last two days troubleshooting a consistent connectivity issue with my server, and they've been super helpful (and patient with someone who doesn't have dev superpowers). If you haven't taken sovereignty of your digital life, you need to consider getting somw of their hadware because not all of us are Linux sysadmins, and ditching Big Tech is critical to personal sovereignty.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available. I've been wanting to get one already for a while but they are always "sold out" and you can't even order one.
Alternatively, they will approve the ETFs tomorrow hoping Aaliyah this mess will go away.
Elon would be more than happy to confirm whether that was the case.
