Such bullshit in Romania... Bitcoin I can't use for payments, usdt I can't use, if I need to exchange from Bitcoin, and I have to exchange to USDC, from usdt to USDC, in this process I'm continuesly losing money, after this it comes the problem with exchanges, I can't use only specific exchanges, so I have to move money where I'm accepted, again losing, after that the fees for fiat transfer to card Fucking crazy 🤯👀🤯👀🤯👀🤯

I'm angry that I can't use my money, and you come to theorize that I don't know Oxford English. You should be ashamed of yourself for not thinking further and for not understanding that not everyone speaks English. If you kept quiet, you would remain a philosopher.

I was only trying to point out the difference between "can't" and "not allowed to" using a common Princess Bride meme format. Your English is just fine. You can use Bitcoin without permission from anyone. That's the beauty of it. 🤝

Binance, kraken, I didn't try kucoin, I was using Binance, and now I need a SEPA account in $ or Euro, I was exchanging directly RON in Binance and withdrawing to card, now RON was removed, to change Euro/$ to RON at my bank, those are other fees... To use Bit refill is not a good choice, when I need to use small amounts of money, for example 1 bread and 1 liter of milk, this are less than 3 Euro, with bit refill I'm forced to spend 10 Euro at least.

The possible problems and hussles with exchanging to fiat and peer to peer can be real and can come with delay in time...I get the frustration. In some countries it can be a problem I think.

It is, but same thing, if I need money fast, it's impossible, it may take up to 2 days to get them, and losing money with fees for transfer to bank, and other stuff. My best option was to change them on exchanges, now everything it's gone...

They cannot control BTC itself so they control the ecosystem arount it: Exchanges, conversions and FIAT audits. We need a bitcoin circular economy.

check freedomia! is like a non kyc e-credit card that you put btc on it and it converts to euros. then you can spend it on nfc capable machines like commerces, on internet purchases and even taking cash on a ATM.

Yeah, that’s the hidden tax most people don’t see. Not volatility.. friction. Death by a thousand middlemen.

it's 60 euro/year. Founder's plan for life. I think later they will rise prices.
