Which country are you staying? It sounds like you have a very oppressive government to me, that is sad. Hope you can figure out how to exit your finds, because it can be hard when the government is working against. you. Undecided

I'm in Thailand (from UK), but the oppressive government thing isn't just here. When my sister years ago sent me GBP 300, the UK bank said that to do the transfer they would have to inform the US. The person in the bank went on to say "I know it contravenes EU law, but if you want us to send it then we have to do what the US says". In other words the US banking system will cut them out if they don't dance to their tune.

I can buy and sell BTC here and convert to fiat no problem, but it is limited to 500,000 Baht per day, and the maximum to send to another country is $100,000 pa. That's fine for a holiday, but it wouldn't buy a decent house in most of the west (or here actually). With places like Tokyo hitting north of $300K per square metre in some instances, it feels like I'm carrying 100 Rupee notes or something.

What if I had 1, 2, 5, 10, 100 million or a billion USD equivalent? It's not like you can keep it in your pocket or cross borders with it. BTC exchanges might well hold it for you in fiat, but I've had the Gox experience with a 10 coins. I wouldn't want to do it with the 'family farm' on the line.
