 Whilst I admire and encourage the efforts, are you sure asking oppressors to stop oppressing is likely to lead to positive results?

 If you check our submission you will see, that before Trilogue procedure (or it is called „silence procedure”), the draft was very liberal and even recognized crypto-assets as a payment instrument.

 Beside that recently, after advocacy mission, we got support from Members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in defense of #bitcoin. 

The main problem that #EU citizens don’t even try to protect their freedoms. For instance how many times you tried or met to educate politicians or their staff about social use of bitcoin?

 It is very admirable what you are doing. I understand the struggle. When I lived in Europe, I kept trying to explain to my friends that the principal purpose of the commission and parliament was to take away freedoms from Europeans. Nobody listened at all. They give the carrot of freedom of movement that governments themselves took away and then in the background strip any form of representation and humanity from the continent. I just left and don’t regret it. I sincerely hope Europeans wake up to the tyranny but I have my doubts.
