I signed up not too long ago with a VPN that allows me to choose from servers in quite a few countries. As I write, I am now connected to France (not my own country). I noticed at blockchain.info an ad popped up asking me if I would like to buy BTC with a credit/debit card. Alas, the transaction was declined, possibly because my debit card is not from the EU...
Does using a VPN allow one to access services like gambling sites or perhaps less picky BTC selling sites for debit cards?
Thanks mucho for any answers to the "newb-style" question.
VPN has its benefits, but in cryptosphere it is a bit tricky. You can access sites, register, enjoy the layout, and even gamble if it is a gambling site, see only a few gambling sites have some country specific restrictions, and you win a good amount, boom ID please, oh this guy/gal is in the restricted list, finished. Why bother about these few.
EU is mucho a tax less continent. But hiding IP does mean the origin is also hideaway, debit cards have regulations, monitored, even though bitcoin is involved, you are stepping into a centralized zone.
