The United Kingdom, known for being the money laundering centre of the world, through her terrorities, always has ensured that wealth has been kept within the elite and the general public have no or limited access to ownership and control of the fundamental institutions.of wealth.
It has became increasingly obvious that the world will be shifting towards digital currency, and in all likelihood, countries will carry out their transactions through XRP ledger, but that is another topic that I won't go into just now. There are plenty of videos on YouTube etc that cover XRP.
What I did want to talk about is how the United Kingdom is putting in measures to prevent the regular Joe investing in crypto, and how this isn't for the public's benefit, as they pretend to claim. Rather, with crypto and digital currency about to explode in the coming decade, the elite want to be those who are holding this wealth, not members of what they see as the underclasses.
The first, and most obvious blocker to the general public, is that an increasing number of UK banks have made it impossible to make payments into crypto platforms such as Binance etc. Now, there are still ways around this but it involves extra steps, something that many of their customers will not be aware of, or quite frankly could be bothered doing.
In addition to this, we have saw the UK Treasury get involved and for those who are already involved in crypto and have an account in Binance for example, will be required to provide information by mid February 2022 about their levels of investment. Providing nthe information is quite simple and the platform you use will prompt you on this. The reason behind this though is to prevent regular members of the public accessing all features of Binance.
Finally all this has been backed up by certain media coverage about the dangers and basic FUD regarding crypto.
Now, this is where I see real hypocrisy kicking in by the UK banks. The reason they claim for all this activity is to protect their customers. First of all they say the prevention of payments to crypto platforms is because having crypto means you are open to being a victim of fraud. Now of course there is some truth to this, but the answer isn't to prevent all access to the general population.
Furthermore, for those already involved, they are attempting to limit their activity under the guise of stopping customers getting caught up in risky behavior. But here is the kicker, for decades, UK banks have all

Honestly, it drives me bloody mental. The county's a bit easier, it's always Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, East Yorkshire or... and this is true... North Humberside. The latter hasn't existed since the mid-90s but my bank, car insurance, home insurance and various other big companies still have it as the county name.
Grrrrrr.

It's a win-win if you think about it. The monarch has now legitimacy and the country is still a democracy.
January 17, 1893
The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom began on January 16, 1893, with a coup d'Γ©tat against Queen LiliΚ»uokalani on the island of Oahu led by the Committee of Safety, composed of seven foreign residents and six Hawaiian Kingdom subjects of American descent in Honolulu, and the invasion of the Kingdom of Hawaii by U.S. Marines.
Sanford B. Dole, the founder of Dole Corporation (the one that produces your pineapples and other fruits) and other business owners, especially those in the sugar industry, advocated for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
What ensued was the mass importation of Asian labor, particularly from the Japanese Empire, the Philippines, and Qing China.
Most Hawaiian locals have roots such as Okinawan, Japanese, Korean, Ilocano (Northern Luzon, Philippines), Cantonese and Hakka (Southern Chinese).
Many workers were tricked into coming to Hawai'i, many died on the voyage, and many were promised that they could return to their homeland after work but never could.
Many contractors often waited outside of gambling houses to catch Asian men in debt and offer them a way to pay it off. Working conditions were harsh and many worked for next to nothing. Many often were trapped into cycles of debt which they had to work longer than contracted to pay off.
What was thought to be advertised as an island paradise quickly turned into a grueling work life to pump out sugarcane and pineapples for their contractors.
Source - On January 3rd, 1852, 195 Chinese laborers arrived in Hawai'i to work on sugarcane plantations. They were the first foreign contract workers in the islands.
The workers were initially recorded as Hong Kong citizens, but it was later discovered that they came from Xiamen, Fujian, China. Their arrival was permitted by the Masters and Servants Act passed in 1850. The name of that law is telling; if plantation overseers were dissatisfied with the work of their laborers, they were able to punish the workers without much in the way of functional accountability, including extending or changing the terms of the contracts. Workers had little to no avenue for appeal.
The impetus for the laborersβ journey was purely economic.Β Scholars suggest that
