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.

Maybe, The Citizen should have to provide reasoning to why they are sending the money (such as poverty)
@B23882N2wks2W
We should make it an offense to send money to sanctioned countries, but we shouldn't ban cross border payment methods. The government cannot be trusted.
@9ZTXY874wks4W
No, because those people are supporting their families. However, there should still be a restriction on who they send it to.
@9ZQV8FW1mo1MO
Yes but the there should be a policing system that heavily monitors transfer activity that tracks funds
@9YD23V42mos2MO
To ban/limit a citizens right to utilize their money/property is wrong but it should be monitored/regulated and/or taxed.
@9X56Y5B2mos2MO

@9WK3LGV2mos2MO
Yes, but make it simple to send it through your regular banking
@9TY279W3mos3MO
Don't ban, but put regulations or surveillance on these type of transactions.
