Bitcoin is freedom and it should be for everyone.
Bitcoin should not be a political tool.

There are a bit more of a handful of oligarchs for sure, but there are many millions of other Russian people who don't want the war but they gonna suffer the consequences anyway. Those people should have an alternative to loose everything because of the tyranny they live with.
 

I think this is another great move by Binance because even though we understand that the exchange in question is centralized but the crypto ecosystem ought to be decentralized and if Binance had gone ahead to comply with that it would bring a whole new disadvantage to the system even though I also read in one of the Treadview news days ago, unfortunately, I can't locate that link about this and Kraken exchange too also rejected this blockage because most of the owners ain't relly the Government people.

I don't even know where their headquarters are, I don't know why they ask people to KYC if they're not even based in any country, that's why they're going to adopt this kind of attitude, because for them the laws of each country don't work and I ask myself again why do they ask for KYC? who are they accountable to? their stance is typical of a place that has no headquarters, if they were located in a country where they are against russia they would have to adopt a tough stance against russia, but they are not thirsty, and knowing that the owner is chinese of course would have to be neutral

Same thing happened to Kraken a few weeks ago when an outside countries government demanded them to stop transfers and ban certain users accounts from transacting, and look how that turned out.
It seems the actioning party is painting all russian users with the same brush.
Doing so just might backfire on them so they rather not do anything.

Yes, this is a very rationale move by Binance as it is not the fault of ordinary Russians that their leader made the war against Ukraine. I am sure that there are many Russians that never welcome this war but under a dictator they are just afraid to have their voice heard. And with falling national currency, Russians should not be cut-off from cryptocurrency as this the time that they really need it most. This is one of the many things that we admire with Binance which is doing the right thing without being told to do so.

I think Binance's actions are very good, where he is neutral without blocking Russian citizens from using his trade, because as we know there are Russian citizens who reject war

I don’t understand at all how it is possible, because of the actions of the leadership of the country or the government, to punish the population in such "draconian" ways. What will be the effect? What do they expect even just to propose such measures? Do they really think that people who lose their cryptocurrencies will go to the streets of their cities to demand something? This is naive and very dangerous. In addition, it will lead to an outflow of a huge number of customers.

If Russians are blocked in binance, they cant trade there anymore and they need to find another exchange where they are allowed. This does not influence users from other countries and what will they get when they follow it? if there is the one that they will support right now, that will only be Ukraine because they are the ones that are heavily damaged.

It's not going to be a big loss if binance blocked Russian users because they have a million users around the world but binance didn't do it not because they are afraid to lose a small percent of their income but because they are showing how neutral they are. Don't worry binance, good things are soon going to happen with you as lots are impressed by this move you have done.

Binance is not the best exchange in Russia, yes, it can be one of the popular and large ones, so it will be the first exchange to cooperate with regulators. All Russian users have long been warned that their cryptocurrencies can be blocked, so many people are leaving centralized exchanges.
