Many of you may not give an F about this but it is important to me due to what I faced just for buying a domain from Africa.
I tried for weeks to get a card to buy a domain, but it was all rejected. I am sure that if the card was owned by a US or EU citizen, the transaction will be processed itch-free. This makes me abandon the hosting site I wanted to use and searched for the ones that accept Bitcoin.Immediately I sent the payment, it was successful. Thanks to Bitcoin that doesn't discriminate whether you are from Asia, Africa, Europe or US.
Bitcoin recognizes everyone as equally important, as the same.
OP, I think this has nothing to do with anything discriminatory here, but rather the possibility of your region or the mode of payment not being included on the list of acceptable currencies. Hence, you had the challenge of making a payment via BTC. If it were to be some other countries that have not yet integrated BTC into their system, you could have faced similar challenges as well, but still, you were able to make your transaction with others that accept BTC as a means of payment. Bitcoin is for all and not a thing of recognition to some over others. Bitcoin knows no country, and there is never a limitation to bitcoin spending.
