Re: Russian Law Would Send Bitcoin Users to Jail as Cybercriminals

>Buying bitcoin requires ID
If you bought BTC with a valid ID, you're doing it wrong. But don't worry, use any mixing service advertised on this forum, or "gamble" on any illegal interweb dice site promoted here, and you're good to go -- no more link with your valid ID.
Sadly, this doesn't work with IRL bank accounts.
I swear, it's like dealing with stubborn sulky children around here sometimes
>Buy bitcoin with cash to buy something that you could have bought with cash in the first place, how smart is that.
Not smart at all. Oddly, you can't buy buy your bath salts with cash from DNM, you need bitcoins.
That's why people buy bitcoins. Duh.
>Buying drugs and guns with USD through HSBC bank
Are you telling me that since there's crime and injustice outside of bitcoins, we should let bitcoiners do khrymes because it's only fair?
What kind of broken logic is that?

We are getting off topic.
What I am trying to say is that it is the money that internet needs.
1) It allows micropayments without visa, mastercard commission (roughly 0.35 usd +3%)
2) You can transfer money abroad without banks and Westernunion (20% and 30 minutes in the bank)
3) You don't need to open any account at the bank to transfer funds (not everyone in the world has that opportunity)
4) No central authority or government can stop you from using these benefits. (freeze your account)
You are right that criminals can use it to do khrymes. But so what, criminals use Prepaid Mastercards and no one is thinking about closing Mastercard. I mean come on, why limit the freedom of law abiding citizens because there are criminals.
Before bitcoin there was crime, after bitcoin there will be crime. Bitcoin is not helping and not stoping it.
I believe that Russian government should not punish its citizens for using this financial freedom. You have the right to have a different opinion. I am not here to limit your freedom of speech.
