@MarioNawfal These areas are NOT restricted. That’s the whole point .

🇨🇦 It's shockingly easy to walk into restricted areas of Canada’s busiest airport in Toronto.

@Smart_Money A corrupt state, extracting the wealth, will always introduce self preservation laws to preserve its silent extraction rails.

🇪🇺 Ab Juli wird Dir Mehrwert durch die EU verboten! MiCA. Stichtag 1. Juli 2026. Die Übergangsregelung läuft aus. Ab dann darf ich auf X, YouTube und überall, wo ich auf Deutsch sende, nur noch Produkte und Plattformen empfehlen, die eine MiCA-Lizenz tragen. Bessere Tools, nützlichere Setups, echte Mehrwerte für dich - alles egal. Fehlt das Label, fliegt es aus meinem Content. Punkt. Pionex als Beispiel. Grid-Bot, läuft bei mir seit über mehreren Jahren, hat in Bullen-, Bären- und Seitwärts-Phasen gearbeitet. Ich habe dir hier mehrfach gezeigt, wie ich die Range baue, welche Coins ich auswähle, wie viel das wirklich abwirft. Mehrwert pur, kostet dich nichts. Ab Juli wäre genau dieser Inhalt für mich ein regulatorisches Problem. Werbung für einen nicht-MiCA-zertifizierten Anbieter. Strafbar. Die EU behandelt Krypto wie illegales Glücksspiel. Anders kann man das nicht mehr nennen. Beim Aktienbroker fragt mich auch niemand, ob er BaFin-Vollerlaubnis hat, bevor ich ihn auf X erwähnen darf. Bei Krypto schon. Und was sie "Anlegerschutz" nennen, ist in Wirklichkeit ein Filter, der nur die wenigen Player im Markt lässt, die sich die Lizenz-Maschinerie leisten können. BaFin-Gebühr, Compliance-Stab, Rechtsabteilung, jährliche Reportings - alles im siebenstelligen Bereich. Wer das nicht stemmt, fliegt aus dem deutschen Markt. Übrig bleiben drei, vier Großbörsen und ein paar Banken, die Krypto bisher nur als Anhängsel begriffen haben. Jetzt der Punkt, an dem die meisten denken, sie könnten sich rauswinden. Auswanderung. Ich lebe seit über einem Jahr nicht mehr in Deutschland. Hilft mir bei MiCA exakt null. Du musst nicht in der EU wohnen, damit du erfasst wirst. Es reicht, dass du auf Deutsch sendest. Sprache definiert die Zielgruppe, Zielgruppe definiert die Jurisdiktion. Wer Inhalte für den deutschsprachigen Raum macht, unterliegt der europäischen Marketing-Regulierung. Egal, ob er in Dubai, Bangkok oder Lissabon sitzt. Genau deshalb wirst du in den nächsten Monaten beobachten, wie deutschsprachige Krypto-Creator reihenweise auf Englisch umsteigen. Das hat nichts mit Reichweite zu tun. Englisch ist das einzige saubere Schlupfloch aus dem EU-Werbeverbot. Auf Englisch ist die Zielgruppe global, MiCA greift nicht mehr direkt, der Werbe-Filter fällt weg. Kanäle, die heute noch dein Setup-Erklärer sind, werden in sechs Monaten still in eine andere Sprache wechseln. Niemand wird das ankündigen. Du wirst dich nur irgendwann fragen, warum die unabhängigen deutschen Stimmen leiser geworden sind. Schau dir parallel die andere Seite an. In den USA hat Trump die SEC-Klage gegen Coinbase fallen lassen, CZ wurde begnadigt, der Genius Act regelt Stablecoins pragmatisch, die SEC zieht eine Klage nach der anderen zurück. Hongkong, Singapur, Dubai werben aktiv um Krypto-Firmen und Krypto-Kapital. Sogar Polen hat MiCA jetzt durchgezogen und seine erste lizensierte Börse stehen, die das Kapital nach Warschau zieht, das vor zwei Jahren noch in Berlin oder Frankfurt lag. Und Deutschland? Diskutiert die Abschaffung der einjährigen Haltefrist, plant Wegzugsteuer auf unrealisierte Gewinne, baut DAC8 zur automatischen Wallet-Meldung aus, und schiebt jetzt noch ein Werbeverbot drauf. Was hier passiert, ist eine geplante Marktabschottung. Stufe für Stufe gebaut. Erst Reporting, dann Haltefrist-Killer, dann Werbeverbot, dann digitaler Euro, irgendwann Wegzugsteuer auch auf Krypto-Vermögen. Jede einzelne Stufe wird mit Anlegerschutz verkauft. Die Summe ist eine Mauer um den deutschsprachigen Krypto-Markt. Ich werde nicht aufhören, ehrliche Tests zu machen. Ich werde dir auch weiter zeigen, was wirklich funktioniert. Aber ab Juli werde ich vorsichtiger formulieren müssen, verklausulierter beschreiben, weniger direkt empfehlen. Und ein Teil meiner Inhalte wird auf Englisch laufen müssen, weil mir die EU sonst die unabhängige Bewertung verbietet. Wenn dir das hier weiterhilft und du verstehen willst, was kommt - bleib dran, like den Post. So sieht das auch ein anderer, der gerade einen Bot bewertet und nicht weiß, dass sein Fenster gerade zumacht. Ab 1. Juli stehen für jeden deutschsprachigen Krypto-Creator drei Optionen. → Lizenz finanzieren, was sich außerhalb der Großbörsen niemand leisten kann. → Sprache wechseln. → Oder stumm bleiben. Welche dieser drei Varianten willst du als Leser eigentlich übrig haben?

@JayGenXer Trying to groom the public this is a “one-off” that it is not working as designed…consistent with each reveal of government choices

W5 just exposed how drug smugglers are treating Canadian airports like an open buffet. A reporter casually strolled straight into the restricted baggage carousel at Pearson Airport — no badge, no swipe, no security check. Just walked right in off the street. Employees were caught bypassing scanners. Random people strolled through exit doors. No electronic record. No real barriers. This is exactly how organized crime swaps drug-filled suitcases onto innocent passengers’ luggage… then those Canadians get arrested and detained abroad for crimes they knew nothing about. Dozens of victims already. Pearson’s official response? “Domestic baggage claim areas are publicly accessible” and stopping drug smuggling “isn’t our mandate.” This isn’t security. It’s a complete joke. After 11 years of Liberal border chaos, this is what “Canada is back” looks like. Comment your thoughts and share this post.

@ShaziGoalie Operating as intended.

This Pearson Airport story somehow keeps getting worse. W5 literally walked in from the street into the baggage pickup area and showed how easy it would allegedly be to grab a “drug bag” and leave. They also observed workers entering without pass scans and random people using exit doors. And this is at Canada’s busiest airport.

FinCEN is busy telling banks how to comply with the law while it is actively breaking the law. cato.org/blog/reporting…

Ooops Canada ! I guess its also not true that “everybody else is doing it”

So accurate . Carnie IS the great extractor the true Sith Lord.

@mgeist Canadians have been so groomed to accept the layers of theft by their own institutions that the government forgets it cannot do the same grift to foreigners without consequences.

The CRTC has put a number on the Online Streaming Act: a 15% levy and expenditure obligation that ranks Canada among the world's most expensive jurisdictions for streaming services. My post on a decision that guarantees years of trade and legal battles. michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/the-on…

@mgeist True “lawful access” would be citizens access to government meta data on demand. There is no free and open society with mass surveillance.

@JCCFCanada Standby for new propaganda framed as news and explainers from the CBC and CTV

Public pressure against Bill C-22, legislation to expand government surveillance, is paying off. The federal government now claims that thousands of Canadians, businesses, civil liberties groups, and technology experts simply “misunderstand” Ottawa’s proposed legislation to spy on Canadians. More likely, the government has discovered that Canadians understand the bill all too well. Speaking up and speaking out is making an impact. Keep it up. nationalpost.com/news/politics/… Contact your MP today: ourcommons.ca/Members/en/sea…

@JCCFCanada @Safety_Canada Oopsies you mean the Canadian government used tax dollars to promote another lie to the tax payer??

Public Safety Canada (@Safety_Canada) has now received its second Community Note on X over misleading claims about its proposed surveillance legislation, Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act. The government claims that all G7 countries have lawful access frameworks with “technical obligations” for electronic service providers. But the technical obligations envisioned under Bill C-22 go much further by proposing broad metadata retention requirements that have failed legal challenges abroad. The Court of Justice of the European Union has already rejected broad mandatory metadata retention measures as incompatible with fundamental privacy rights. Canadians should be asking why Ottawa is pushing surveillance powers that courts in other democratic jurisdictions have already found excessive.

@globepolitics One lie after another. Here is an idea … prove it.

CSIS says transnational investigations are being hindered by Canada’s lack of lawful access powers theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Ha ha what a joke There is ZERO reason to compromise the safety of Canadian citizens because FOREIGN police who are not accountable to Canadian citizens are LAZY. Imagine a world that thinks its normal to pretend citizenship has no meaning or protection from foreign surveillance.

You just have to look at the "problems" that CSIS says lawful access will solve, & you can figure out the solution. Interestingly, they never get into the specifics of the solution (left to the regs). The only solution to this "problem" is mandatory ID verification for customers.

I'm the CRO of @Sync, Canada's end-to-end encrypted cloud storage provider, and Canada's Bill C-22 stands to cause immeasurable harm to the rights of Canadian citizens, and an industry that Canada should be leading in the technology sector. This bill will cause an exodus of companies, investment, and talent and will not make Canadians any safer. This is a mass government surveillance bill that aims to make privacy companies and people agents of the state. Canada already has methods to collect data, through legal means and using warrants. This goes against everything @Sync stands for and we will continue to fight against this bill and we are preparing additional measures should this misguided bill come to pass. @mgeist @JCCFCanada @MelissaLMRogers @Tablesalt13

@Safety_Canada Wow. What lies !

(1/2) All G7, Five Eye partners and most EU countries have lawful access frameworks that include technical obligations for electronic service providers.

@MerlinEgalite In a different legacy industry i can confirm the metric was lines of code as the lead indicator..

Lending is perhaps the hardest type of protocol to secure in this space. This is why having a minimalistic approach to design is critical. Each line you add increases the attack surface. Immutability ensure that the logic will stay the same, no updates will introduce new unnecessary features. Lindy can't be reset.

@bankpolicy You mean the AML regimes that have killed more people than all wars combined by funneling GDP away from local hospitals, medicine, roads , and clean drinking water into bankers salaries?

For decades, the U.S. has counted on banks to identify suspicious activity and fight financial crime. That requires tens of thousands of employees and countless hours. Crypto companies don't have the same obligations. And it shows. 🧵

@GwartyGwart Such a great post. So much legacy VC fluff transposition with labels Owner operated addresses have limited self custody, always did

I believe self custody of assets with private keys is legitimately one of the most powerful tools for sovereignty we have ever devised but the industry has completely bastardized this term to the point of uselessness. The original notion (in my mind at least) of self custody was having a string of letters and numbers or 12 words that unlock your assets. “Self-custody” when interacting with smart contracts and defi has become virtually meaningless at this point, encumbering coins with layers and layers of risks and dependencies, incredibly misleading A lot of this narrative was ostensibly for regulatory reasons: “we don’t take custody of your assets, you deposit them in this pool or contract with self-executing code” but that’s so obviously not true at this point it’s an insult to our lived experience. Or, if it is “true” in the literal sense that the code technically always does what it is allowed to do, the “self-custody” component is very far down the list of what is actually important with these systems, a red herring really. Clearly Drift depositors didn’t (don’t) have “self-custody” of their funds. And the common retort is “well Drift doesn’t really either.” ok but North Korea does now. At this point I liken self-custody in the context of defi to saying that you are the only one with the keys to the front door of a bank vault but there’s another door on the other side of the vault that criminals (or regulators, who knows) can enter with impunity and take your assets. Is it really that relevant that you’re the only one with a key to the front door? The reason this is jading is because truly securing your wealth with private keys if you choose is a 0 to 1 unlock for some people (maybe the only real 0 to 1 unlock in this space) but that was conflated with all of these systems that have multisigs, upgrade keys, oracle dependencies, layers upon layers, turtles all the way down, often times with very obvious single points of failure. What is the value of self custody when a multisig can reorg your assets out of existence? The whole thing is very disillusioning

@thesovereignceo You are just discovering he is the “Great Extractor”?

In 2022, the government froze the assets of people who DONATED to a peaceful protest. They did this without a CBDC, without digital ID, and without AI enforcement. They did all of these horrendous acts of government overreach WITHOUT the powers that they're seeking now. Mark Carney was one of the people who advised this action. And one of the first things this “new” old government did was try to appeal the decision that using the wartime Emergencies Act on its own citizens was unjustified. This story has only just begun. The man who helped start Canada down the path of extreme government overreach is just getting started. He is one of the architects behind one of the most authoritarian tech systems we’ve ever seen. And anyone who is okay with this system is extremely short-sighted and historically uninformed about power structures and the dangers of centralized control. Because regardless of your political leanings, this system WILL eventually be used against you too. You're welcome in advance non-believers for exposing this.
