To everyone worried about Russian accounts, it’s already happened to Iranian accounts.

This is a rant.

I am new to crypto and to be fair I’ve only had Binance tell me to go fuck myself because of American sanctions, but this is just messed up. We’ve been blocked out of Binance for 2 years and no one’s said shit, I doubt any of you even knew that we had to pack our shit up and leave, the Russians haven’t even been blocked yet and I’ve seen you people become united as if it were your own accounts.

“Binance owner says blocking innocent Russians accounts is unethical”

“We must stand up for all users”

Are we not innocent? What is it? Why are y’all more worried about the idea of it happening to Russians but we’ve been kicked out for years and no one batted an eye?

Fair enough, I can use other exchanges like KuCoin.

This isn’t even a geographical issue, I’m in Dubai and binance is supported here, but everytime I try to verify my account I get blocked because my Dubai residency card shows where I’m from.

To the Russians, I’m not mad at you guys, you really shouldn’t be thrown off of exchanges because of your government. I guess I’m just pissy because people fight for you and leave us out in the sun. ????????‍♂️

Fuck the Government. Sanctions don’t affect the government, it affects ordinary, innocent people. The poor American government must think if they use sanctions, the Iranian government will stop being bad because they feel bad for their people suffering. What a joke.

Update: Thankyou for the support, I didn’t mean this to be hateful or mean.

To the people rightly saying that sanctions are built to hurt ordinary citizens so that they step up and fight their government. You are right. That’s the whole point of it and Iranians are fighting back, they are protesting but unfortunately, the world is very different than the western democracy you’re used to. Some governments really don’t care how many people they kill. Some governments block all internet access so they can play Duck Hunt with people.

I tried posting a link but it isn’t working for some reason. Google Iranian protests and enjoy.

I agree with you all, but this is getting too political and that is not safe.

All I’m saying is, the crypto exchange bosses shouldn’t sanction users. Allow people to trade freely.

Update: From the crazy amount of support I’ve seen, I understand race is not an issue in this and I apologize for bringing it up. I have taken it out. Please raise awareness.

What you are afraid of happening has already happened, help stop that.
