Forbidden in germany. There is literally a law, which basically says: everyone needs to have and is allowed to have a banking account.
This is true and from what I understand it is available to any EU citizen. The technical term is "Jedermann-Konto" which means "account for everyone" . The German Wikipedia article has a lot to say about this topic[1] but unfortunately I didn't find any information in English on it. [1] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedermann-Konto

But how do I transfer bitcoins from your main wallet to the new one without having this transaction public so linking your wallets. As I said I did not researched this topic or own bitcoings, my scenario is that say we all use bitcoins everywhere, then I or you manage to upset some internet community, then they will start "hunting" , they could grab a list of all the transaction, see what you bought/sell from who you…
> But how do I transfer bitcoins from your main wallet to the new one without having this transaction public so linking your wallets. Don’t transfer between personal wallets: when you purchase BTC, send it directly to the wallet you’ll use those funds with. Transaction mixers (there are other names, but i think mixer is/was common) are a viable way to deter this kind of attack, as they muddy the transaction history b…
Thanks for the response, IMO this issue should be addressed and be built in into the protocol before regular users could just start using it, so IMO using bitcoing for the PornHub is not a general solution and people that promote it without mentioning the anonymity problem are making a disservice.

Which further highlights how many "problems" that tech people in the US have tried to solve (transit->uber, various health care start-ups, etc) are essentially due to the failure of the US state to function properly or even focus on the right thing.
Another way to put that is that tech people, being tech people, try to solve fundamentally political or social problems by throwing technology at them. And so far it pretty much never works out, unsurprisingly, since it turns out not all problems can be solved with a website.

Yup, it seems US citizens pay crazy amount of hidden tax because of inefficiencies caused by fanatical anti government propaganda. This isn't only about freedom it's about keeping power in certain hands. Too bad it's being exported everywhere
Obama was the direct opposite of fantastically anti government and this deplatforming peaked under him.
This isn’t about anti government sentiment, it’s about pro abuse of government sentiment to use the force of law to push your morality on others.
At least unless you weirdly classify Obama as anti government.

Just like how most public healthcare proposals in the US while technically raising taxes would end up leaving the individual with a much lower financial burden because of the ridiculous amounts of money Americans pay for healthcare and medication.
This belief that the US is capable of implementing a socialized system in an affordable manner seems kind of fanaticism given the incredible amount of evidence to the contrary.

#658Financial deplatforming is a monster, long-term trend to watch over the next decades. Deplatforming happens with sex workers. It also happens in the US marijuana industry. It happens with perfectly legal political content. The number of ways in which someone, somewhere will be offended by products or services for sale is growing, driven by a rapidly improving worldwide communication network and delivery system, and b…
Printable cash for internet transaction would be nice...
Honestly, the behavior of paypal is abysmal and I wish there to be a real alternative. I despise credit cards and would like to have more options.
I doubt I will ever pay anything for porn, but there are a lot of content creators that can only receive money via paypal/credit card.
I do actually think a government should have some control over its currency, but if the institutions implement their own arbitrary rules, solutions like Bitcoin are the best alternative.

I'm living in Germany, the bank account of my neighbor in Commerzbank was closed because he wrote "hooker money" in description when sending money to one of his friends. At least that's what we believe because they refused to explain why. He could easily open another account in Volksbank and according to him, when the new account manager asked and learned why his previous account was closed, they had a pretty good la…
I've been with my bank for 15+ years. One time I sent a payment of several hundred £s to a friend who's paid my share of a holiday when booking. In the description I put "fun times". I had a call from my bank asking me to explain the payment the next day. I've never been called before nor since that. It certainly feels like they're a bit touchy about certain references.

Depends on what your "salary" is. In the EU, the banks are obligated to find out where you get your money. And they have an obligation to close your account if they don't get satisfactory answers. "Know your customer". My bank has recently started to ask customers to clarify transfers, and even shoot and send some video of themselves, smiling, and explaining things. I haven't got that myself yet but several colleague…
My business got a KYC letter last year. So far I've ignored it. They haven't shut the account yet. These things are usually treated as box ticking exercises, not as fervent investigative due diligence. I would guess money laundering happens elsewhere. For as little as $1m you can set up or buy a bank of your own. For $10m or more you can buy a regulated operating bank with employees and deposits. The process is more…
I suppose you can ignore the letters, if having your bank account suspended for some weeks doesn't cause major business risks to you. The downside with box ticking exercises is that eventually, someone may calculate the ticks, and his/her guidelines will say that this account belongs to a risky category.
