wow, thanks for the PSA.
Seems that US is really fucked up.
Was just about to make a Nostr post tagging you with this post linked, now I don't have to.
Unbelievably shitty of Bitwage to do after their announcement email surrounding the regressions made to their service after switching to their new banking partner, making it seem like the "freedom" country still had access.

In EU is still OK, but I supposed it will happen the same soon.
The only way is to be paid directly in BTC.
@bitwage can you give more explanations to this ?
reply
CEO of Bitwage here.
US employer/clients are still 100% supported.
Message in question means either that you have to send a quick ticket for some manual approvals we will get from our new banking partners or that you had an acc with an employer/client added prior Feb 2022, so it needs updating.
Post title is click baiting - there has been no rug pull.
We deal with bank accounts that our users use. Regulations change and in the process of these changes, there can be (temporary) changes or manual actions needed. Like the screen posted.
We are USA company that is fully regulated and on top of that we are FULLY non-custodial.
Worth repeating here again is that we did NOT drop US.
@DarthCoin, do you use Nostr as frequently as SN?
reply
Whenever people need me...
But nostr is more for memes and fun. Not for serious discussions.
