Stay away from Thailand.
They will try to get your money by giving you a choice between death, life in Thai prison (a fate worse than death) or all of your bitcoin.
The lucky get out while they can.
Yep. Especially if you poke them by engaging in arguably illegal conduct. Go figure?
Thailand decided unilaterally it was "illegal" to threat their sovereignty and that elwar and his wife should die for death penalty. They physically removed the "threat" posed in international waters using war boats and even arrested people who helped in the construction. This potentially deathly aggression was decided without the aid of any international institution.
China is making military bases on artificial islands in international waters, and this seems to be fine (or at least debatable) for international law.
Freedom is not something due to us from the states, even first-word democracies. Freedom was a conquer, and it still is. States don't want anyone to be free from their influences, they would prefer to be in control.
Seastanding is something about freedom, and so it is bitcoin.
