You need to use fiat to purchase crypto. Suppose you could mine it. Banks are though. Most sites I use require verification now and banks are involved in that process.

I'm aware of that but they are heavily invested in Bitcoin and making money from it. They don't want it to succeed but they do what monies from exploiting it.

I'm aware. Not crypto but blockchain has impeccable transparency. Every politician and business should show a paper trail of what they spend our money on.

Auz has receipts of what their tax is "spent" on. Be great to force that through but they control the laws so far chance
