Those are only acts and statuses. Read here about them: #674373
Also what is "authority": #716947
"Therefore do not fight regulations, inquire if you are obligated to obey them, and who is going to administer them, and under what authority."
This is what you mean when you advise me to write an open letter to the person who makes the provision.
"There is only one form of authority, and that’s yours. For anyone to be able to force you to do something, you must first give them authority to do so."
I totally agree with that. Only here a totalitarian government does this "by violating someone's rights."
In any case, it is always good to know how to prepare a defense and above all, that in this summary shown, which was issued by the Central Bank of Cuba itself, based on the aforementioned law, it allows me to have the opportunity to use the "digital assets" between peers, without being a service provider. So I could pay another in BTC and this would not be illegal.

Be aware: totalitarian it doesn't mean that also have authority...
Challenging (rebutting) the authority is one thing and fighting totalitarianism is another thing.
In your situation, just by using Bitcoin day to day (I know is hard), is like both.

I totally agree, my friend. I know you understand me because you were once in a regime that was the same or worse, because the one here learned from the one in Eastern Europe. And with great "shades" of FACISM.

I don't want to tell you what to do, in your situation in Cuba.
I really know how terrible is, I live it myself long time ago.
The only advice, (based on my own experience lived in such situation) I could give is this:
- refuse to comply - here is a video explaining how others did it long time ago. Nothing can be imposed if people refuse to comply.
- stand your ground, no matter what. I know this is really hard to achieve, especially when you have kids, family, but there's no other way against totalitarianism, you have nothing else to lose.
- mass disobedience. It must be in mass, otherwise very few things you can achieve, maybe only some at personal level, but when is about for more important things, it must be at mass level.
Of course all these must be decided by yourself and people around you and decide when is the right moment. Only you can know when is that moment.

Thanks for the suggestion, my friend. I will continue using Bitcoin here, I will continue being free and staying firm. In any case, I will continue teaching others and trying to get them to use it if they want.
