Reasons:

  1. Trump Tower Sinaloa

  2. Free cocaine for Jr

  3. Reclassified as Afrikaners

  4. Massive Trumpcoin investment

    My money is on number 4. The Guzmans must have bought a lot of Trumpcoins. The sad part for the (innocent) family members is that in a year or two, when Trump has gotten all he wants from the Cartel, he’ll have them deported back to Mexico anyway.

        You can walk into my local gas station and put cash into a digital Bitcoin wallet. Buying Trump coin with Bitcoin I assume you can do on many platforms.

        Double checked. You can by Trump coin directly from Crypto.com’s platform. When you are ready to make a purchase in person say groceries, you can pull the money from any of their coins directly for use on a Visa Debit card. Physical if you want one, or from Google/Apple/Samsung pay.

        If I can figure out a mattress to purchase method in under a minute I imagine the cartels have figured out methods

          Lol wut. Bitcoin is more transparent than cash. The entire blockchain is publicly visible by everyone. You can’t launder money with bitcoin.

          Cartels launder money with greenbacks. I still dont see how they can buy this shitcoin with dirty cash.

              There’s whole companies that do this, yes. Their business is coin analytics. For a small fee, this info is easy to obtain. They are contracted by the government.

              Is this really news to you?

                It’s not news to me, it’s overstated bologna thats it’s common place. You not being able to show it shows so. Not trying to be confrontational just trying to say… It isn’t info that is easily accessible like people bluntly say

                  Just pull up the blockchain explorer. Its all public.

                  KYC data links it, as mandated by AML laws. I dont see what’s confusing about this to you.

      You being blocked is very much a you problem, and shouldn’t cause the rest of us to avoid posting links to a well known and reputable news source

        No. It is very much a they problem. Thats my point.

        They aren’t blocking me. They’re blocking whole swaths of the internet because they can’t identify them uniquely.

        If you’re not being blocked, it’s because their fingerprinting you.

          Or you’re using some kind of proxy/vpn from a server that has been identified as malicious and their subnet is banned in some list. Pretty common and more likely.

            Yes. As I said, it’s a broken system that’s false postiving and blocking whole swaths of the internet.

            Any system that blocks a simple GET is broken as fuck.
