Slava Ukraini!

I heard similar stories in my country when banks closed someone's accounts when they found crypto related transactions. And they don't even have clear rules which doesn't allow to deal with crypto.
But I think you shouldn't be worried to wear clothes with Bitcoin logo. Wearing such clothes doesn't necessarily make you crypto user. Same like wearing t-shirt with marijuana logo doesn't means that you smoke weed or t-shirt with Jack Daniels logo doesn't means that you drink. So, I think you should wear these clothes to promote crypto, unless it's ilkegal in your country.

This is very unfortunate! Some Governments are anti-crypto and would exert efforts to prevent it or discourage it from its own citizens but eventually, they will reconsider it once mass adoption becomes full blown and other foreign Governments adopts it.

Sometimes we shouldn't blame governments. Usually blocking accounts is iniatiative of banks, because simply they are against crypto. Same about Bitcointalk in Turkey - it's blocked by government, just some ISP's decided to block it (and I have no idea why).

I suggest that if some of you can't access this forum due to some censorship ion your country, you can try to use VPN or TOR so that it will give you more privacy and less fear from Government interventions.

Its not the government which is preventing access to the websites in this case. Turkey's government aren't the bad guys here instead its the internet providers of Turkey who are restricting access to social media and Cryptocurrency related websites. This should not be used as a anti government movement as its not the government enforcing these restrictions on the Turkish population.

Today, while I was surfing through the forum, I came across a post in which someone complained about bitcointalk.org not loading in Turkey. Under his post were several replies that explained that the site happens to be blocked by some internet service providers (which is sad).
A few days ago, I made a post in which I asked "What have you done to promote the Blockchain technology & cryptocurrencies?".
I went through several replies which were pleasing and supportive to the Blockchain technology. Amongst them, someone said that he wore bitcoin shirts around (an ideology I really admire). Another said that he created a facebook page (also interesting).
Just recently, I saw a complain from someone in my country. According to the screenshot which contained a mail from his bank, it said that his bank account has been frozen because they found out that it has something to do with virtual trading (cryptocurrency). Not only was I surprised, I was provoked. You know, one of my plans was to buy numerous Bitcoin and Ethereum polo shirt and wear them (to help promote). However, as it stands right now, I'm afraid I can't do that because I could be held as a user of cryptocurrency. Though this isn't any easy, I'll still keep trying what I can to spread the word. The Blockchain technology gospel must be heard!!!
