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 when shelters are funded by government, however well-meaning, the incentives of shelter administrators shift from providing better services that aid the long-term outlook of the homeless, to filling beds to receive more funding.

No, but it should be regulated to where specific steps must be required to send money to sanctioned countries.

No, but it should be regulated to the point where specific steps must be required to send money to sanctioned countries.
@9RD5T954 days4D
It should be regulated with proof of use. Recipient families should be identified and funds should be restricted for their use only. There should also be permission for proof of use when larger sums are being transferred (i.e. family purchases a home and provided receipt within 30 days of purchase)

The government should have zero involvement in personal transactions.
Most people are sending small amounts of money to help their relatives who live in other parts of the world where economies are in shambles.
Every American citizen has a right to financial privacy and self-custody. Crypto is here to stay, and banks should be planning on their eventual extinction a few decades from now, instead of trying to keep people locked into a corrupt system that's no longer sustainable, and will be replaced in time by a more efficient and beneficial financial system.

No, but such transactions should be monitored to ensure that American citizens are not contributing to terrorist movements around the world.
