It was 3 figures MAU to high four figures MAU. I work at Bitrefill and made this post.

Yeah what is the number lol
why the spike? and why no units on the y axis?

We (Bitrefill) try not to post absolute numbers for various reasons. But we can say it was 3 figures MAU up to high four figures MAU.

Does Bitrefill really require to adhere to the rules of any country?
As far as my knowledge is concerned, I think that it's the duty of the seller who sells goods.
I mean if someone buys goods from Amazon with Bitrefill card, Amazon gets at least the delivery address and also it requires you do do minimum kyc with email or telephone number.
So, Bitrefill is free from compliances, I suppose?

i’m not an expert on their business, just saw @MattAhlborg0’s chart on Twitter and thought it was worth sharing here.
Perhaps Matt can jump in here

Bitrefill does adhere to rules of the country. Currently there is no rule against this activity. They may move to shut it down in time but Arg's new libertarian gov seems to be more willing to go in the opposite direction. You could say this activity might be a "loophole" against the spirit of their capital controls and taxes and such, but it isn't illegal. Finally, it's the morally right thing.

Yes, and their identities. Also most people also have a Gmail associated to their phone or identity

I see. That's the bad bit actually...if you're going to use bitrefill with bitcoin, why do you use the same gmail used for you personal stuff? That's not very clever (I'm referring to these people, not to you specifically, clearly)

Does Bitrefill have to or has already gotten the new government permission slip?
