Unless you are buying bitcoin from your bank account (in New Zealand) we have to ask permission and have had our account frozen while they have their fraud team investigate EVERY SINGLE TIME! They sure don’t like us using our own money in the way we choose! @GJM #permissionless #bitcoin #bitcoinstandard #frustration

i get that buying bitcoin could be hard in some places, like New Zealand, however you don't have to buy from a bank. you're not forced to by from a bank. other places exist that require no permission.

Sorry… maybe I didn’t articulate well enough. Our fiat is held in a NZ bank and we have to have those funds released to the company to but bitcoin. It’s been terribly frustrating

We have to pay FROM our bank. Our bank won’t release the funds to the NZ registered company we buy our bitcoin from.

i understand. however, what im saying is other methods exist such as using Bisq or Robosats or buying bitcoin from someone in person or maybe you have Bitcoin ATMs in NZ? it sucks using your bank account to buy bitcoin is hard, but bitcoin is unstoppable. it may require more work and hassle, but you can buy it if you're determined.
