MiCA starts and I feel like I live in a banned 3rd world country and not in the EU

MiCA starts and I feel like I live in a banned 3rd world country and not in the EU

First of all, apologies if you think I disrespect the 3rd world, I am just pointing to some unfair restrictions happen(ed) in this world.

Okay, well the 1st of July was a bit of a shock for me, standing - so to say - in front of closed doors.

"Well, use a VPN!" - Damn, am I a North Korean Kim? Am I in Iran and blocked by the US? Am I a Russian under embargo?

NO, I live in the EU, ...thought that I live in a free and open minded community.

HitBTC was the first, so I cant even MOVE my money FROM them:

Freewallet, the next one, but I dont care cause I (HOPE) have 0 left there

So to KuCoin... they want to charge me minimum 2$ per month if I dont do KYC... and even if I would KYC, THEY have problems in the EU.

So whats the point, just CLOSE the account, I move all from there years ago - but NO, you cant, you still have value there - so the account cant be closed.

Wait? What? I have 0.03 USD there, I cant move it cause the transfer cost are much more.

Kucoin: Sorry, we cant help you, that is your problem! And then they froze my account - so that I definitely cant close the account.
