I got an e-mail yesterday from Binance. It wrote that a new identification procedure is ongoing for Binance customers in order for the exchange to fully comply with Europe's AML that I have to go thru. I know Binance is damn compliant, CZ made it clear that he is willing to do whatever to stay compliant with the industry regulators, but these new measures...
I looked into the procedure and they want a pic of your ID, a facial scan, and some "details" on what are you going to use Binance for, where your funds come from, or the cash, what's your income and what do you do for a living...
What the fuck!
What has this to do with crypto... Yesterday we celebrated exactly 14 years since Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin's whitepaper to the public and in my Leofinance post from a day ago, somehow dedicated to this event, I expressed my mild disappointed regarding the fact that we haven't fulfilled much of the vision Satoshi had for us when he created Bitcoin.
CZ Binance Conveys His Intention to Aid Twitter in Entering Web3. Who does this clown think he is fooling? He doesn't care about no damn WEB3 or anything that decentralized blockchain technology stands for. He's about making money no matter the consequences.
While he no longer does business in China his attitude is worthy of an obedient Chinese. No disrespect here for the Chinese people, it's just that I've noticed lately that these guys are more obedient than necessary.
I'm not pleading for anarchy here. I do believe that we have to have some common sense legislation so that some actors won't abuse the system or do harm to others, just because they can, but this... Call me a conspiracy theorist, or what you will, but the boot-stamping of our freedom and privacy is more than obvious.
On October 7, 2022, the RBI published a CBDC concept after years of research. The Reserve Bank of India is planning to introduce a wholesale CBDC pilot on November 1. The "central bank digital cage" is upon the Indians. I know that the country is not that technologized so they can spread the use of such tech across it all, but the trend is clear.
Governments all over the world are after gaining more and more power and control over their citizens. Europe is such a case as well. The Dutch minister of Finance, who also happens to be the co-chair of the Global Action Group at the WEF, is now looking to introduce a law to monitor ALL transactions over €100
What do you think of that?
I know, I know, they had accountability over our funds already, but they're now so transparent about their Orwellian methods to gain total control over us.
We are treated as criminals and it kind of all started with 9/11 when millions of citizens gave their freedom and privacy away arms open in fighting terrorism. There was no damn act of terrorism in the 9/11 events. The towers were detonated and there has been found no trace of the damn plane in the Pentagon. Just propaganda and manipulation.

I know, I know, it's all conspiracy theories... Until it isn't...
I can't change the system but I'm doing my part to fight it. As of today, I will be using other exchanges than Binance to swap between cryptos and I'm gonna dust off the crypto.com card and use that for everyday purchases. It's the best I can. I will also be using cash more often than I did.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
