“They came back to us, and they said . . . we believe every asset other than bitcoin is a security,” Armstrong said according to the FT. “And, we said, well how are you coming to that conclusion, because that’s not our interpretation of the law.

After a long wait BTC is back to $31K. I'm really liking this steady growth and apparent stability. I hope it stays like that instead of 🚀🚀 and then 🔥🔥🔥🔥 📉📉

So, i have this Bitsa prepaid card that is supposed to accept bitcoin transfer that can converted into fiat money. I used it two or three times just to have a tool in case. I think i have maybe 5 euro left there, to keep it in use.

All the last week kept asking me to change the SCA code but then it failed with something that look like an https failure.

Today i tried from a computer browser and i discovered that my (fixed) ip is blocked.

So I opened them a ticket, they unblocked the ip and then they asked me to uninstall the android app, reinstall the app and try from that for going on with troubleshooting.

The app is not available anymore in google play for my country

I told them with a screenshot proving.

They counter that the tech support say it's available in my country.

Btw, anyone got an apk ? :-)
