it's just an increase of global oversight for KYC and AML, and the requirements will increase every year until it becomes unbearable. That's the point, they don't want to forbid things, so instead they make things impossible ???? Bitcoins is doomed,

what would be the justification of buying such a top end NAS? do you really need that much storage or power? You can buy an entry Synology for 100 USD, that would take care of 99% of your needs very few people need a DS900 series Synology, seems over kill

we can assume that it was discreetly returned since the former holder is dying somewhere in some private hospital the looting has already started,

sure, you can setup your own secure VPN, if you are a hacker or some security obsessed sysadmin, still the VPN can be under attack, and the majority of people won't bother with that complex process for a private VPN, they can barely setup a USB device ???? you might be wrong here, I am pretty sure it has been done but not publicized or reported, and rightly so, you don't want to change things ???? you might be naive again here to think there is no cooperation with US authorities for Swiss or German tech companies, their compliance department would require them so

Any government gateway can break the encryption of a VPN, so not really helpful. Ask the Chinese. All government agencies have "agents" on VPNs. It's only useful to have a different IP address to "fake" your location. That's what VPN are built for, an extension of an IP network you can join without being part of the local network, by "faking" or "tunneling" the network protocol.

it has been already functioning for years, not sure what else they want to add

911 had nothing to do with this per se, the US Treasury had these plans long ago to control overseas Americans financials, and they just needed the right excuse 911 was awesome for government agencies, it gave them the right justifications for a full monitoring of every activities in the world people were just too stupid to see it coming, and fell for it. Can't blame them, it was an elaborate plan that was just waiting for the right timing for execution.

in European countries with a similar size population, it was close to 1m and 1.5m cases per day, with 500K daily cases detected Thailand is probably not different,

I think any utility bill should do it,

of course it is, everything is food :)

they didn't have social media back then, watch what happens when the lemmings start falling off the cliff ????

unfortunately not true, marketing is what win the game, not the good idea or the product

yet you don't have a problem when cryptos "print" money out of nowhere ????

honey moon period, let's talk to them again in 2 years time after going through the loops of their VISA renewal ????

again, you weren't born then, so you wouldn't know Dozens of successful startups were shutdown early because of lack of cash or investors Google, Amazon and Yahoo were no different, the difference is a bit of luck and investors commitment without which, these firms would have died long ago remember these were the times of ENRON and WORLDCOM, 2 very successful companies that got caught in accounting scandals and shutdown eventually, investors appetite at the time was very shaky. Amazon survived out of luck with that loan. Wait for a big scandal and regulator interventions for cryptos, and it will be the end of it like ENRON and WORLDCOM

not sure replacing him will improve anything, a bit too late unless they bring back a real natural leader, like Thaksin ????

they seem to be reserved only for US federal employees working overseas, not open to everyone

Try eTrade, they are international friendly

Thanks to the US Patriot Act, every bank account holders outside the US is a possible terrorist, was bound to happen, even for US nationals ????

no shortage of fools, that's why, and as long as regulators will not intervene to stop seriously the pump and dump game, we will see these cycles it was the same with penny stocks in the 80s and 90s, it took 20 years for regulators to step in let's hope the global regulators wake up a bit before that,

you probably weren't born in 1999, but Amazon did almost collapse in those years, and only because they had a small bridge loan taken before the 2000 crisis, they were able to survive and really take off after 2005. Bezos was also in serious trouble, they wanted to replace him. before that, they were losing massive amount of money, billions of investors money, losing like 5$ for every item they sold ????

they would use better programmers, be more careful with their Quality Assurance Program, and have a limited beta tester base, but that would be expensive, so instead they cut costs and use everyone as rat labs ???? Thank you for your kind service, sir :)

amen to that,

don't jump off a bridge when cryptos collapses ????

that explains it ????
