Are you or should i say you where doing your bitcoin through a exchange. Because I do not see how on chain that would be a issue. People who Use the gateway #BTC exchanges (they are evil) and are part of the fall of #btc. The future looks good with #XBT.
So unless people wanted BTC from you and where on a exchange. ZI have never heard of freezing. ZI know that alot of banks froze account at the utter mention of bitcoin back in the day Zi hear its better now Zi never used the bank system
This somewhat describes my situation. I do not have a bank account. I am banned from financial services. I, however, do not use Bitcoin. Sending me Bitcoin or receiving Bitcoin from me has been a way that a lot of people have had funds frozen and exchange accounts closed. Bitcoin is not fungible, and is therefore not a good medium of exchange for those that are targeted for political reasons by people that have control over the financial system. Bitcoin is actually worthless in that regard.
I want you to know, Wes, that I would have liked to keep using Bitcoin. Satoshi wanted for Bitcoin to be fungible via base layer ring signatures on the L1. He said explicitly of ledger privacy, “If a solution was found, a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin would be possible.” Exact quote:

He also describes a ring signatures scheme in the comments, which is the mechanism Monero uses for its privacy. Well, the solution has long been found and implemented in Monero. But Bitcoin Core is now captured by institutional subversives, Saylor and Blackrock, that say ledger privacy cannot be implemented because it will cause problems for institutional acquisitions. Even though fungibility is a basic property of money. The vast majority of small denomination bills have cocaine on them if carefully tested! They’ve all been a party to drug transactions in the past! I don’t like drug dealers, but Bitcoins that have been a party to a drug transaction can get your exchange account frozen. That’s not a fair or equitable system, and means that Bitcoin will be inherently less functional than fiat forever if it has a transparent ledger.
People that are actually deplatformed from financial services, like me (I am a real person, you can search my name and find me on wikipedia or whatever) do not use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is absolutely worthless for those of us who aren’t allowed to have bank accounts. Most of us exclusively use Monero, though I also like Tari. And I like the theory of Pirate Chain. But of these, only Monero is a real economy with liquidity.
