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.

To ban/limit a citizens right to utilize their money/property is wrong but it should be monitored/regulated and/or taxed.
@9X56Y5B3wks3W
cause this people they just want to send money to their love ones,but i think think countries should make a legal payment methods to the people that just want to send money to their love ones.
Yes, but make it simple to send it through your regular banking
@9TYHMNT2mos2MO
Yes. Only if they are expected to use that money for illegal activities.
@9TY279W2mos2MO
Don't ban, but put regulations or surveillance on these type of transactions.
@9TSS8RJ2mos2MO
Only if the family is needing the funds to flee the country
@9TS28Y82mos2MO
Not ban but certainly safe guards should be in place to ensure the funds are not for war/terrorist activities.
@9TG8PL62mos2MO
If they were closely monitored for criminal use, yes
@9T64K8RConservative3mos3MO
No, but they should be heavily monitored and the government should be able to control it.
@9QZCYDN4mos4MO
Yes but they would have to ensure that the money isn't going to the government or to terrorists, and since that's hard to do most of the time it should be a no
I think it should be heavily secured but I don't think it should be banned.
@9SW5R6B 3mos3MO
No, but the money must be monitored to ensure it doesn't fund nefarious behaviour.
@9RZPX673mos3MO
if youre going to allow immigration at the levels youve introduced, let them send money where they need to
@9RBVFQQ4mos4MO
Yes, but I see no feasible method in which they could.
@9QZGVST4mos4MO
No, but authorities should be able to get a warrant to trace these transactions to the recipient if they have probable cause that they are being used to fund terrorism or undermine Canadian sovereignty or national security.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 5mos5MO
This question is too vague to provide a definitive argument of either opposition or support.
@9MX2TPB6mos6MO
We need to strive for a unified unit of currency for the planet.
@9MTXP566mos6MO
I think they should be allowed to send money because some ppl are poor
@9TSTBDY2mos2MO
This is not of importance to me as i remain politically neutral
