Taliban Leadershipeadership Impose Ban on Cryptocurrency in Afghanistan

[n0ne]

I am not surprised with this news because we talking about a country which got forcefully independent and with the most dangerous criminals around the world rules it now. What do we expect from them? They are decision makers based on faulty logics and religious sayings etc. Those guys are literally not thinking straight about anything. No woman empowerment, no this job that job, no foreign relationships! Man that’s gonna take them no where and soon that dynasty will sink to the bottom of ocean. Worlds changing at fastest rate and adoption is much needed all the time. So what can we say about the decision they made about bitcoin or crypto currency? It’s lame.

These guys show themselves as saviours of the world come from God. They implement each and everything on the holy book and they fail to follow it. The people needs to follow and they're exempted from it. Anyhow it is none of our business. The people atleast had the freedom of money using cryptocurrencies, now restriction on the same is really bad. It is a country that is being denied support by other nations. At such critical situation the people find good out of the cryptocurrency. As said someday the government might realise the need and make it legal.

Taliban are different people and their laws are stricts.
If they have imposed a ban - they make sure that no one deals in bitcoin and they will not let happen in Afghanistan - that is for sure. .

They want to fully control their people, freedom will not be the option for them. They have set of rules and better to follow that. If you are still living in Afghanistan better to look for a chance to get away from that place, that place is slowly going back to the old age, and with your crypto most probably you can’t have the power to control it on that place, it will surely put you on a bigger risk.

After 20 years under the Americans and others who were there on a mission to introduce democracy, we now see how successful they were in that. It's only a matter of time before the Taliban are completely back to their old ways (if they haven't already), but as long as they don't engage in terrorizing outside their own country, the West will pretend that there are some good guys out there.

The West is not pretending anything, Taliban is under sanctions, they can't access previous Afghan government's financial reserves and so on. They just realized that Afghanistan is a lost cause.

Afghanistan doesn't have one ethnicity, instead it has many tribes, and they even speak different languages. They didn't understand why should they live under one single country and government. And a lot of them didn't care if Taliban returned or not, plus the government was very corrupt and weak. So the moment the US soldiers left, it all collapsed. It was impossible to build not only democracy, but any state at all in such conditions. I think it's a valuable lesson for humanity, as it shows that for social change to happen, certain conditions must be met.

For the Taliban, this is part of their "great" plan to return Afghanistan to the "Stone Age"! Trust me, they will succeed.
I perfectly understand why the United States left Afghanistan - you cannot teach people to live like normal people, well and civilized, if they absolutely do not want it!
The problem of the "new" Afghanistan under the control of the Taliban is that in addition to the fact that they will very quickly lead Afghanistan itself to total degradation, they will become a new, yet another center of regional terrorism. It is precisely because the surrounding countries did nothing to try to pull Afghanistan out of this path that the United States spat on this whole idea, and did not want to independently resolve the issues of those who should have been most interested in this.

"Afghanistan’s drug economy expanded dramatically after the US- and NATO-led invasion in 2001. The amount of land under poppy cultivation almost tripled between 2002 and 2020, and the country also started to produce cheap methamphetamine using an abundant local plant—ephedra. "

Or maybe the United States came to Afghanistan for a different purpose, and not to teach local residents to "live like normal people".

Too bad for them, they are afraid of this kind of change and obviously their Taliban government don’t want to give any freedom to their people since cryptocurrency promotes freedom away from the government control. Sadly, Afghanistan people left with no choice but to follow their government, hopefully they can really stand on their own and stop the terrorism now that they fully control the whole country again, though we cannot expect this one but if you are holding crypto and living in Afghanistan, I’m sure there’s still a way to liquidate your crypto.

There is always a choice!
Part of the inhabitants of Afghanistan left their country. Part - resisted degradation. And most cowardly sat and pretended that they did not influence anything, that the "wise ruler" would decide for them, and in general they had nothing to do with it! In such countries, terrorism, obscurantism, degradation, and many other "charms of the wild Stone Age" come to the "throne". But this is the choice of the majority, and if they do not oppose and do not resist, it means that it suits them!!! And in vain that the United States spent so much effort and money, and the lives of its soldiers, to give a chance to live like people, people who do not want to live normally! So it turns out that Afghanistan is not the only country with such a people ... But they won’t have the capitalist Internet and girls in open clothes, which is so cool, isn’t it worth living in the Stone Age for?

... well, continue to develop the idea logically. Let's assume that you are right, like the writer of that article. If everything is so good, profitable, and the United States has managed to manage drug trafficking and make a huge profit from it, why did they leave such a cozy and profitable place?

If someone occupies your house, what would be your reaction? Surely you'll go to every extent to get your home back.

Similarly, Afghanistan was/is the Taliban's home, which was occupied by America, so they were trying /fighting to get it back.

Yes, I also do not agree with their harsh policies ( like not allowing girls to study)

but when one says that they did not do well by taking their country back from America. I won't agree.

yesterday - I met an afgahnai - he was owner of an Afghan hotel here.
I asked him - how are the situation in Afghanistan - he said very bad - and wants American to return to Afghanistan. things were better when Americans were there.

As far as I know, there is a war going on between Isis and the Taliban. which is causing harm to ordinary people. Maybe this is the reason why this "afghan hotel owner" wants America back so that they can live their life peacefully.

Let's not confuse strict laws with idiocy and devolutionary development? There are a lot of countries with strict laws, national traditions, religious restrictions, but not many of them strive for degradation and sliding into the Stone Age!
The reason for such an act is extremely clear - it is difficult to manage PEOPLE, educated, enlightened, thinking, and it is impossible to make a flock of obedient sheep out of them. From people who are narrow-minded, undeveloped, afraid to think - it is extremely simple!
