It was a pleasure to chat with you,

! Thanks to

and Bitcoin Policy Institute for helping us share our sad experience of financial exclusion, talk about the role of #bitcoin in resisting the misuse of banking data in the EU by authoritarian regimes.

The untold, publicly unknown stories of the abuse of AML/CFT laws and the weaponisation of the financial system to crush dissent is what corrupts power.

Transparency, inclusivity of the regulatory process and demanding personal accountability, developing mechanisms for liability and remedies is important more than ever.

We believe it is an important moment to protect #freedomtech bitcoin jointly with bitcoin developers, miners and investors in front of western countries regulators as key elements for privacy, human rights, financial & civil liberties freedoms.

Join our #BTC coalition and support our work! 🧡

In the post-Trialogue version of AMLR proposal Article (41a) “Unwarranted de-risking, non-discrimination and financial inclusion” was deleted.

It was introduced by the European Parliament in 2023 as a result of the #BTC Coalition's human rights advocacy campaign - our testimonials about the financial exclusion in the EU as a result of transnational repression organised by the authoritarian regimes.

Article (41a) was intended to prevent unwarranted de-risking by ensuring that credit and financial institutions have controls and procedures in place to avoid unjustified refusal or termination of business relationships with certain categories of customers. 3/5 https://image.nostr.build/aa06081b518202105a33dca51b3bd213724bda63d34164f9ff43b90fe0db1647.jpg
