Officially ending apartheid didn't make it disappear. I've been to South Africa, it's a beautiful country. But racial segregation is still very real. I wouldn't be surprised if it's worse now than it was during apartheid.
The genocide on white people in South Africa has been going on for years. Thousands have been tortured, raped and murdered. What's new, is politicians openly encouraging mass murder. By killing and chasing away the people who produce their food, they're following Zimbabwe's example. That didn't end well for them.

Apparently, in PayPal USD the issuer can enter an “asset protection mode” and “block” and “seize” assets. In addition to that it can raise the max issued limit without any problems.
Nice try PayPal. If PayPal just wanted a cheap, reliable, censorship-resistant way of allowing their customer to transfer economic value, they would have implemented... Lightning.
With Lightning they wouldn't be able to control the money, and it would be much more difficult to profit from other people's money. PayPal is not your pal. --Knight Hider

Does the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau even care about petitions? They should investigate crimes, not popularity.

1. Not everyone live on country where it's government respect people's freedom. 2. Moving to another country is harder than it sounds.
Basically, if you have money, you have freedom. Money really buys freedom. Having enough money to buy your freedom legally is out of reach for most people. I believe anonymous money on the other hand can buy (some) freedom at much lower cost. --Knight Hider

Now do purchasing power. The goal shouldn't be having more jobs, the goal should be being able to make a living.
That was fast, the first guy who is trying to spin good news into bad news. So, the question, if the topic had been about high unemployment would you have come and asked how much they're making or you would have screamed doom and gloom and told everything is going downhill cause of high unemployment? High unemployment is bad, but more jobs doesn't have to be a good thing. If you have to abandon F.I.R.E. and get a job again, you're off worse than you were before. Anyhow, choose whatever PPP indicator you want and check the data, you have the link to the europa database there you can check every single country or entire euro area by every indicator you want, you want adjusted GNI PPP, you want linear PPP minimum wage is there. But you're not going to like that things are improving.
Things aren't improving for many people. Despite nominal increases in statutory minimum wages reaching an all-time high between January 2022 and January 2023, minimum wage workers in most EU countries are seeing their purchasing power decline or just about compensated, based on preliminary inflation figures. With inflation expected to persist, a further depreciation of minimum wages in real terms can be expected in most Member States, as only a few foresee additional increases during the rest of 2023. --Knight Hider

Europe has broken all 20 years' records, in both the lowest unemployment level and in the percentage of citizens employed.

While very interesting to read, this paper is about deanonymizing the users of hidden services. It's not about deanonymizing Bitcoin Core users. They associated Bitcoin addresses with online identities on Twitter and Bitcointalk. Some of them could be linked to real identities. That's not because they used Bitcoin Core through Tor, it's because they posted addresses in public places. Using a VPN instead of Tor doesn't change that. ABSTRACT With the rapid increase of threats on the Internet, people are contin- uously seeking privacy and anonymity. Services such as Bitcoin and Tor were introduced to provide anonymity for online transactions and Web browsing. Due to its pseudonymity model, Bitcoin lacks retroactive operational security, which means historical pieces of information could be used to identify a certain user. We investigate the feasibility of deanonymizing users of Tor hidden services who rely on Bitcoin as a payment method by exploiting public informa- tion leaked from online social networks, the Blockchain, and onion websites. This, for example, allows an adversary to link a user with @alice Twitter address to a Tor hidden service with private.onion address by finding at least one past transaction in the Blockchain that involves their publicly declared Bitcoin addresses. To demonstrate the feasibility of this deanonymization attack, we carried out a real-world experiment simulating a passive, lim- ited adversary. We crawled 1.5K hidden services and collected 88 unique Bitcoin addresses. We then crawled 5B tweets and 1M Bit- coinTalk forum pages and collected 4.2K and 41K unique Bitcoin addresses, respectively. Each user address was associated with an online identity along with its public profile information. By ana- lyzing the transactions in the Blockchain, we were able to link 125 unique users to 20 Tor hidden services, including sensitive ones, such as The Pirate Bay and Silk Road. We also analyzed two case studies in detail to demonstrate the implications of the resulting information leakage on user anonymity. In particular, we confirm that Bitcoin addresses should always be considered exploitable, as they can be used to deanonymize users retroactively. This is espe- cially important for Tor hidden service users who actively seek and expect privacy and anonymity.
They didn't compromise Bitcoin Core through Tor. If someone posts his Bitcoin address here and makes a payment to an address posted on a hidden website, it's not that difficult to put one and one together. It's also not that difficult to avoid. 4.3 Limitations Our work has two main limitations. First, in our analysis, we assume that linking a user, represented as an online identity, to a hidden service is sufficient to deanonymize the user. However, this is not always true. Users can always create fake online identities in order to hide their real ones. While doing so improves their anonymity, once the links are established the adversary can perform online surveillance to track down the users and uncover their true identi- ties. The second limitation is related to the use of mixing services. While the wallet-closure cleaning process we used eliminates the effect of mixing, it is aggressive and can exclude users who did not use mixing services at all. Accordingly, our results under estimates the prevalence of the deanonymization threat.

a but my questions is, how can we see the list of highest total received coins in a list like richlist
Total received coins includes coins sent by yourself to yourself as change. It can be >21M Bitcoin. --Knight Hider

Wagering is an activity to redeem gambling bonuses, increase the rank of your account in a casino and a whole series of other advantages ...
Think about the reason casinos create ranks and bonuses. Wagering is how the casino makes profit. --Knight Hider

Note that not even the checksum can protect you in this case, even though every mnemonic phrase you quoted fails the checksum check.
Only one seed phrase passes the checksum and creates an (unused) Segwit wallet: zone zone zone zone zone zone zone zone zone zone zone zone You're right, there's more: house house house house house house house house house house house house god god god god god god god god god god god god marry marry marry marry marry marry marry marry marry marry marry marry everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody everybody money money money money money money money money money money money money daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy fact fact fact fact fact fact fact fact fact fact fact fact gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot Two wallets stand out: Seed "everybody everybody everybody" took over a month to drain in January 2023. Seed "dot dot dot" received 37 deposits at different addresses from June to September 2022, all of which were quickly withdrawn to 3LxraFZM7JRzUpecMoc9UoaGSq8qr31rjR at low fee. It looks like only one person was watching this wallet. --Knight Hider

I checked all 2048 potential seed phrases that use the same word 12 times.

What were they thinking? Most, but not all wallets, were instantly swept. Three wallets stand out the most: Seed "summer summer summer" took 51 blocks to sweep 0.17BTC in 2019: 77f914eaeb3aa408b534c64e9506defa9f80b51d52fe8f59b02b2ad0e49ce38a. Seed "like like like" was used in 2013, when it took 10884 blocks to sweep 0.031BTC, and again in 2021, when 0.027BTC was swept instantly. Seed "sad sad sad" has a fitting name, whoever lost his Bitcoin here did it again 10 days later. Lesson to learn from this: don't make up your own seed phrase. --Knight Hider
