Dutch gov and central bank lose first court battle against Bitcoin and Crypto for the "address verification" rule

Background: https://www.publish0x.com/geo-political-economical-developments/netherlands-is-so-free-they-are-the-only-nation-in-all-of-eu-xmklrdk

Just this week, a court in Rotterdam ruled against the forced address book/verification implementation for all Crypto users in the Netherlands.

I specifically state 'first battle' because this is far from over as the judge stopped short of calling the ridiculous address verification rule unlawful (even though it clearly was) and counterproductive. Instead, the court gave the bank six weeks to propose an acceptable (read non-illegal) alternative to the initially enforced rule, or to appeal the ruling.

Things are almost never as they seem. If you sincerely think that world powers would spend their money and resources in order to just "help" citizens from foreign nations, you might want to ask yourself why they've been neglecting and out right murdering their own citizens for decades. What are their true motives for wanting to fund foreign (terror) groups, start global confrontations and wars? I'll let you in on a little secret; It has NOTHING to do with "human rights" nor "democracy".
