 @primal 
Got my Apple Cash Card deactivated for life because I bought sats ⚡️ 


No fucking way …. Any one else ? 
 So you bought sats with a credit card? Is that a thing? Please share what info you have to document this. 
 So literally 
On @primal 
When you buy ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 
It’ll take you to Apple Pay

I used the Apple Cash Card


& I woke up to send my mom $5 dollars for her coffee and my account was restricted. 

I called Apple and was told a certain purchase with an application from the App Store is what caused the deactivation. 


Only app I ever used on Apple Cash is Primal 🤦‍♂️ 
 Wow. That’s a classic Reverse Trojan Horse move. ‘Allow’ something, then ban anyone who actually uses it. 
 I used my bank credit linked to my Apple account. The payment shows up as APPLE.COM/BILL. Now wondering, after Apple collecting their 30%, if they can report me and shut me down. 
 Yeah that’s what I’m assuming is happening 
 I just paid for a vaccination with the same card. I should be ok. 
 Lmfaooo

 C'est bien un windows XP sur la note tanel ? Ça marche encore ?: j'ai un pc neuf dans mon grenier ' merci pour la réponse  
 the operating system still works, but as it is outdated, then there are lots of security flaws in it 
 Je pourrais peut-être l'user pour du stockage puisqu'avec les ssid il y a peu de capacités de stockage c'est très rapide pour l'exécution comme un téléphone mobile .. Dernièrement un de mes ordinateurs m'a planté au cours des mises à jour Edge ...j'ai dû racheté un neuf . Merci je verrais comment faire .b 
 Auto translate for Americans 😭 
 I mean, I could see them being worried about fraud. Someone could steal CC numbers and buy sats and immediately send them to another wallet out of reach of recovery. I listened to the recent Citadel Dispatch with the primal dev and they didn't really get approval or work with Apple to make sure it was acceptable. They just guessed that if they gave Apple their cut they wouldn't give a shit.  
 Did Apple not approve it on the AppStore though? Regardless if they “got direct approval” Apple approved the app so they must know? 
 They also approved Damus with zaps for awhile before backtracking.  
 If anything this gives me a vote of no confidence to assume that Apple is actually taking measures to protect its users If they use an “approve now disapprove later after actually taking a look” model 
 Good point 
 Indeed 
 They approved but they can do anything they’d want 
 Cash app will ban people for life for using their bitcoin "wrong".  They don't tell you what it is either, you have to guess. Apple uses the same playbook. It might not be Apple, but they are beholden to the same authoritarian forces so it really doesn't make a difference. 
 They guessed right 🤷🏽‍♂️ 
 I get that but that wasn’t the damn case not for damn $5 dollars 
 Whose problem is that though. Credit card tech has poor outdated security that they can only "fix" with total surveillance  
 Right. Some really smart dude pointed this out in 2009.

”The problem with this solution is that the fate of the entire money system depends on the company running the mint, with every transaction having to go through them, just like a bank." 
 #Bitcoin fixes this. 
 It’s not Apple, it’s their banking partners. Apple could very easily end up getting into Bitcoin because they actually hate this shit for their customers 
 Oh noooo.

Try earning
🤔 
 They have no damn pull then 
 I don't buy that for a second. Apple is anti-bitcoin as much as the banks. 
 Learned the hard way over $5 dollars 🤦‍♂️ 
 Actually, I am not sure if this was Primal-related, they are investigating… 
 wtf. For real?? 
 Not kidding 
 This shit is outa control. 
 Haha that's awesome! 
 👀 
 Yeah Apple Is on their bullshit 
 I want to do this too. 
 Go ahead and

 Just changed it 
 I tried again but unfortunately the same message 😒 
 Oh man I just changed it 
 Zeus fucks up smh 
 OH HELL NO 😡 this wont end well https://image.nostr.build/6d01e8be23aa9daece3fe81c7a48df21fb80e3692ea8f199c72c02efba22dcd8.jpg  
 🤦‍♂️ 
 Fuck Goldman Sachs 
 This is why you don't Apple. 
 Apple smh 
 Need a +1 react.  
 Lol 
 I already questioned if @Primal has money transmittal license in all states. If they don’t it is illegal for them to sell you #bitcoin. @Primal can you clarify this? 
 What he said please answer 
 It’s a victimless crime. I love primal for disregarding unjust laws. 
 I’m pretty sure @strike provides the Money Transmitter License for @primal 
 I was just told 
 You bought the sats through Apple Pay right ?
Apple Pay with any card but Apple’s card is okay.  
This is crazy ! 
 Basically I can use the Apple Pay with my own debit cards or credit cards 

But officially blocked from the Apple Cash since I purchased ⚡️⚡️⚡️ through #Primal using Apple Cash 🤦‍♂️ 
 It’s kinda funny/ironic though bc Apple Cash is pretty much their p2p electronic cash system and you got rekt for using it to buy the real deal 
 Yup; unfortunately got damn $5 dollars. Should of never tried #primal lol 😆 
#following the hype 
 You mean shouldn't have used apple, a company that thinks they can tell you how to spend the money you worked for. They know what's best for their cattle  
 Just pay with anything other then Apple Cash Card or credit card 
 But yes that 2 
 Apple Cash and Apple Pay are two services from the same company 🤡
This is goofy behaviour from Apple 
 !!! 
 Hey @nobody, are you sure the reason was your in-app purchase of sats via Primal? Can you please share the exact message you received from Apple? Feel free to DM me if you don't want to share publicly. 

I doubt that buying sats via Primal was the issue, as they would have reached out to us as well.  
 They should give at least a notice to him via mail but usually banks in the USA don’t explain the reason why they closed account! So, they will say we closed your account and left over of
your balance will be mailed to separately on check 
 Right 
 So, how do you know that it’s because of primal lol 
 I’ve stated everything already 
 I don’t believe you and the reason because I have had accounts that been closed by banks such as chase and citi and they NEVER explained the reason ! So, I only could assume that it’s because I been buying bitcoin on coinbase back in 2017 and they saw it but didn’t tell ! 
 lol: whatever makes you feel big as a person 
 Hey Miljan; I’d love to honestly show proof on paper but i was told this when i called The Apple Card Number within the App, and they sent me a email that’s all. https://image.nostr.build/7ed51f634169b46fd8edfd020d55a1598e8e5ff53e2a639cc7ec1e183d156e8f.jpg  
 You wouldn’t happen to live in Indiana? 
 Nope the might 
🗽 unfortunately 
Where they are
Against majority of Bitcoin/crypto 
 oh, that’s a hard no then, the sats are bought through Strike, which doesn’t have a license there, you set off everyone’s alarms 

lifetime ban seems unreasonable though 
 Did they say that specifically? 
 Yes; actually the female representative related that to
Me sir ! 
 Damn!
