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.

@9S9R2356mos6MO
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
@B2DNDWQ1mo1MO
No, but funds must be monitored, controlled and regulated to prevent financial support to hostile regimes, to ensure compliance with international sanctions and national security policies
@9TQ5HHD5mos5MO
No, but these methods must be strictly regulated by the Australian Federal Government in order to prevent terrorism.
@B2XNM476 days6D
No, A disclosure and permit system that enables survival support for relatives living in OFAC sanctioned countries would be reasonable.
@B2WYQRP1wk1W
The money should be taxed but they should be able to send money so that OFAC citizens can safely leave their country.
@B2K7KYT3wks3W
It is a complicated question. Cryptocurrency is unreliable, and should a ban on citizens using cross-border payment be implemented, the government should be expected to provide humanitarian aid in its place
@B2GBNLQ1mo1MO
Yes but only because crypto sucks Not care if you send money to North Korea and you should send money to Palestine. Weird you put Palestine and North Korea in the same boat
@B27XB5T 2mos2MO
I think government money/ Centrelink should be banned from doing so. But whatever income is generated from earnings doesn’t really matter. Maybe the government should introduce a cap to sending income overseas.
