Cross-border payment methods, such as cryptocurrencies, allow individuals to transfer money internationally, often bypassing traditional banking systems. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions countries for various political and security reasons, restricting financial transactions with these nations. Proponents argue that such a ban prevents financial support to regimes considered hostile or dangerous, ensuring compliance with international sanctions and national security policies. Opponents argue that it restricts humanitarian aid to families in need, infringes on personal freedoms, and that cryptocurrencies can provide a lifeline in crisis situations.

No, because the OFAC is an American agency, if we wish to ban cross-border payment methods to specific countries we should decide which countries by ourselves
@9TQ5HHD2mos2MO
No, but these methods must be strictly regulated by the Australian Federal Government in order to prevent terrorism.

Against the current governmental systems and policies of that country, yes. Against everyday citizens who need humanitarian aid and support, no.
@9W7FMBV1mo1MO
No but systems should be put in place to make sure the money does go to the person and not the government or anyone that OFAC doesn't approve of.
@9VTCP681mo1MO
