Just imagine. You are a law-abiding citizen. You don’t evade taxes. You work, survive, and are also interested in crypto. You don’t launder money, you don’t drive around in a Lamborghini with cash in the trunk. You just want — hold on — to pay with your cryptocurrency via a card at the supermarket. Or, God forbid, buy coffee. And what?
And nothing. Because everything is blocked. Closed. Cut to pieces.
💳 No normal service operates in Ukraine. Binance Card? Goodbye. BitPay? Not for you. Coinbase Card? That’s a fantasy. You are here, in Ukraine, and you have one option — TrustyPlus. That’s it. Want another? Not provided.
And here I ask — what the hell?!

📉 Is the government protecting us? From whom?
They will say: 'We limited it for security reasons, so that terrorists are not funded' or 'to prevent money laundering.' But excuse me, I am not a terrorist. And most crypto enthusiasts are not either. So why did the state simply throw me, an ordinary taxpayer, out of normal financial life?
Why in 2025, when crypto is already integrated into the payment infrastructure in many countries, is Ukraine a financial reserve?

🦴 They left us a bone, not a choice.
TrustyPlus is not a choice. It’s a monopoly. One service, one scheme, one app. Want it – use it. Don’t want it – go to the woods. There is no competition. There are no alternatives. Convenient? Yes. But scary. Because one day — boom, and that’s it, and you have nothing. If the government doesn’t like it — they shut it down. If they can’t agree — they cut you off.
And here you sit with crypto, but you can't pay. Only exchange for cash, in dark corners, like in the 90s. Why?!

⚖️ Legislation as an excuse? No, as a cover-up.
Someone might say: 'But the law hasn't been passed yet. The Ministry of Digital Transformation hasn’t coordinated with the NBU.' And so what? Do I have to wait another three years while someone wakes up? Someone will still 'study the EU experience'? No. We live now. We use crypto now. We want the infrastructure — now.

🔥 Conclusion? One:
🛑 I have the right to manage my cryptocurrency.
🛑 I have the right to choose a crypto card.
🛑 I have the right to live in a country where crypto is not a crime, but a future.
So I ask one last time — why did the government do everything so that I wouldn't have this right?
