My Money Is Currently Being Held Hostage By Wise
Friends,
One of the main reasons I have been using crypto for over a decade (first BTC, now XMR and privacy coins) is because it doesn't require a bank or government and there are no questions asked.
However, since so many of you are afraid of crypto I've been using Substack and Buy Me a Coffee, with Stripe connected to a Wise account to receive your donations.
I've only been using Stripe and Wise for the last 2-3 years so I could receive support from people who want to donate via credit cards.
However, since I don't have a bank account Wise was an option to receive money internationally.
As the funds coming in have increased (from my journalism, to payments for The People's Reset, etc), Wise has started to get more invasive and nosy about my business.
Now, for the last week Wise has had my money on hold until I show them numerous documents which I don't have.
They are asking for a bank statement, a tax record, a freelancing contract, 3 months worth of payment records etc.
I've explained that I am a freelancer and do not have a business. I receive support from people who like my work, and for writing articles, and hosting events.
Unfortunately, they won't accept anything I can share, and are basically forcing me to close my account while they have my money on hold.
This problem is just a small example of the many issues people like myself who are unbanked face while trying to stay free from the state and banks.
This is going to get worse. There will be less and less options to exist outside of the system as the Technocratic State.
This is why we need XMR and privacy crypto, cash, alternative currencies, and new parallel systems outside of the state's hands. Until that happens people like myself will keep having to jump from one hoop to another, to one platform to another just to receive money.
Please, if you support me, learn about XMR and start donating to me that way. Otherwise, sooner or later I won't be able to receive your support.
Criminals.
I just paid $189 for Reset. Did you receive that or is that on hold, too?
I am so sorry about this. But, Derrick. Back in 2015-16 Air B&B held my money and when I attempted to retrieve it, they blamed it on Pay Pal and P. P. sent be on another go-around with A. B. B. I never got my last two guests’ payments for their stays so I cancelled my account forever! When mask mandates were launched and business refused to let me in, I never went back and to this day, I know owner, Erin, watches me patronizing all of the businesses around her. One day, in a neighboring cafe the opportunity to tell her, out loud, publicly, why I will never return, was granted me (from above), and I took full advantage of it!!!
Never, ever give in or give up!
There is always another way!!!
I stopped flying one conscious resistant day, way before all of the crown nonsense. I had just had it up to HERE, with the demeaning rituals. Flying to you will be my first flight in many years.
And Im nervous about putting myself in such a vicarious position. I do not wish to be subjected to standing firmly in 2025. I cruised with a friend for her birthday, and nearly ‘lost it,’ a couple times on that “vacation.”
