51 sats \ 6 replies \ @bature_ 13 Sep \ on: Hong Kong: Russia and China Bypass US Sanctions with Gold news
This is good news! People should be free enough to transact with whoever they choose no matter what. The U.S. government stands to be the biggest problem the world is facing today because of it's freaking efforts in trying at all cost to keep everyone under its control. The U.S. has become the number 1 authoritarian in regime in the world, you just don't know it yet. Fortunately, With or without the U.S., the world will keep moving forward.
And, for Russian and China, when they are done trading in gold, bitcoin will always be there for the individual. And, there is nothing they can do about it.
Thanks for sharing.

Look, the man pointing the finger and the man who is being pointed at are all the same. All I'm saying is, everything is a game, fiat game, played between two sides of a coin. Don't let them confuse you. There's no good guy here. Much better, bitcoin.

China and Russia have banned MoE use of BTC by the individual. They are both authoritarian autocracies. While I agree everyone should be free to trade using whichever currency they choose, without freedom of speech there is no free market and freedom of speech does not exist in Russia or China.

You said it well. But it wasn't freedom of speech that was snatched from the people first, it was their purchasing power that was taken away first. As such, only sound money can buy and sustain freedom of speech.

Russia and China are more advanced on introducing CBDC than anyone else. China already has them and Russia is introducing them next year. https://russiaspivottoasia.com/russian-banks-instructed-to-permit-client-use-of-digital-rubles-from-july-1-2025/ If you think these autocrats will allow their citizens Bitcoin MoE let alone freedom of speech you are dreaming.
