Is Our Money Safe? On Financial Censorship, Bank Accounts Closures & Confiscations

Vigilance about financial censorship and asset protection can mean the difference between sound money and confiscated money.

Did you know that financial exclusion in the EU now goes so far that a foreigner with only the RU citizenship can no longer open an account at a private bank, Raiffeisen bank or Savings bank, even if he or she has been living in the EU for 7 or more years and even pays taxes here as an employee? And this only because he or she has (only) the RU citizenship? There is no law that requires this, no regulation. The banks do it just like that, all of them, collectively. You ask why there are regulations that empower everyone with a residence permit in an EU country to have at least a "basic bank account"?

Your Europe

Opening a basic bank account within the EU - Your Europe

Your right to a basic bank account in the EU, when you can be refused an account, and what help you should get if you decide to switch accounts

These regulations exist so that banks do not have to apply them. There is no legal entitlement.

Bitcoin > mining > energy consumtion Hirnforscher Jandial (Spiegel, 27/24): "Neurologisch gesehen ist das Gehirn in Schlaf und Traum ungeheuer aktiv. Diese Aktivität muss einen Sinn haben, denn sie kostet sehr viel Energie."

Ein angenehm nüchterner, analytischer Geist: Gut, dass Frau Prof. Guérot nicht der einzige dieser Art ist. Schlecht, dass es nur noch wenige davon gibt. Analyse so weit passiert. Wie weiter ?

@knutsvanholm great ep. with Martti

The electronic patient file for all those with health insurance in Germany is coming. Once again, the "objection solution" is being chosen. Only those who object separately will not have the centrally stored and highly personal patient file imposed on them and may well be able to prevent it for themselves. this is a nightmare It will be interesting to see how many people disagree with this dangerous nonsense (in %).

Mass Adoption Would Ruin Crypto. Keep It a Niche

There is an unavoidable tension between the aims of decentralization and onboarding everyday users.

"It’s not an uncommon opinion that “the masses” likely won’t self-custody. But without self-custody, what’s even the point of something like Bitcoin?" We should measure the probability (whether and when there will be widespread acceptance of self-custody) not by what we know how it can and should be, but by what consumers are used to in their banking transactions today. Consumers (I can say this for the EU) have been hit hard in this respect in recent years; they have had to give up some of their cherished habits and get used to completely new processes. And: they have done so. Measured against this, the requirements for self-custody are not excessively high. tmho

difference between Bitcoin and an volcano ? there is none ! Both break out from time to time. The force from within makes its way.

Yerkes-Dodson Law: How It Correlates to Stress, Anxiety, Performance

The Yerkes-Dodson Law is the premise that an optimal level of stress results in optimal performance. Here's how it works.

for the everage citizen - too often too little arousal - for him the time intervals are too long - he does not put it in relation to his own lifespan - no stage on which sings Taylor Swift - increase attention and interest until the sweet spot is reached ... uff
