  1. You know you shouldn't have said that, now look what you have caused ha ha ha. Can't post the link as not allowed, but go to that well known BK publication and search for the following. ----------------------- Navigating new foreign income rules The Revenue Department is studying adoption of the principle of worldwide income. -------------------- Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Lets see how this plays out.
  2. Think Jenkins reply to you may be being a bit harsh considering the limited details. You may be just an innocent 3rd party caught up in a scam operation, depending on your own actions all being above board of course. Found this which may shed a little light on the matter.
  3. There you go BigBruv, was on the telly so still safe and effective. /S
  4. OK MOD here's a non paywall link to the same story. AstraZeneca to withdraw Covid vaccine (bbc.com)
  5. Thailand's NVI backing didn't age too well either did it. But all A-OK nothing wrong with the product, just not as much demand as there used to be 555555
  6. Just announced full withdrawal from global markets from yesterday. For commercial reason only of course. Jeeeze you can't make this stuff up. Nice bit of face saving.....for commercial reason. What a clown world we live in really. New non-paywall link covering the same story posted further down in the chat.
  7. Deepest respect to you sir. Humility is the sign of a truly genuine individual. Sadly not so much of that around these days.
  8. Bday Prang - When you say 'Reluctantly' was that due to work or the need to travel? That was outrageous too. My sister actually died of cancer in 2021 in the UK which resulted in me having to make a heartbreaking choice. If I left Thailand unjabbed to attend her funeral I would have been unable to return as I didn't have the "cert' the authorities were demanding for travel/re-entry. I was also adamant I would NOT comply and take this juice. In the end I decided not to return to the UK as she had already passed and my being there wouldn't have helped her. In the two weeks or so before she actually died, relatives also informed me that nobody was even allowed to visit the hospital at that time anyway, even immediate family. So once again returning would have accomplished nothing. So consequently she died alone with faceless medical staff dressed in PPE. She was mentally handicapped too with cerebral palsy so doubt she even would have understood what was going on. It brings a tear to my eye even today thinking about it and also a rage I cant describe. Never Again. NEVER AGAIN.
  9. Again 100%, including on here. The pressure was off the scale globally to comply. One bloke I was friendly with shocked me one day by telling me I was a rebel, just shut your mouth and wear your mask and stop fighting against the system. That was the end of that relationship. He still lives in the same condo and we just pass without speaking these days. Sad state of affairs, but luckily not a loved one or close family and I know that happened too many times too.
  10. What I found particularly terrifying at the time was the complete lack of informed consent. I mean people were lining up in shopping centers FFS and just having some 'nurse' administer a completely unknown product into their body because of the pressure that it was the right thing to do. I will never forget that era or how close we came to losing sovereignty over what goes into our own bodies. In Thailand's favor it did remain a voluntary choice here throughout the whole insanity, but there were times I thought that might not remain the case. Phew.
  11. Not much chance of staying under the radar either for anyone trying to avoid the freeze by using a UK address. I know a couple of people who have done so for years, looks like the digital surveillance state will be potentially catching up with them soon.
  12. To play it safe I would use your EU address if you have the option. There's a good chance you may be blocked using them given this news [[Not sure how that will actually be done though?] https://cointelegraph.com/news/thailand-blocks-unlicensed-crypto-exchanges-online-crimes Can't comment on the card as I don't have an account with crypto.com. Do you have someone at your EU address who could forward the card to you as there may be problems getting it sent it to the Thai address that you didn't use to register. Crypto is a bit of a hit and miss minefield in Thailand these days. They keep banging on about wanting to attract digital nomads etc then they pull an anti digital nomad stunt like the one above. Good luck and let us know how things work out.
  13. Happy Halving in 16 hours fellas [At the time of this post] https://bitbo.io/halving/
  14. Is Bitcoin going to zero? People have been saying this since the days it went from $0.00 to $10. They'll still be saying it after it passes $1m. Peter Schiff anyone. Bottom line is even though most focuses on price, fundamentally price is a symptom not a cause. The cause is it's the first intrinsically deflationary money we have ever had, whereas the garbage we call money today [currency not money] is a deflationary debt based disaster. I'd say the odds of Bitcoin going to zero are close to zero.
