If you really want to catch audience on SN, post the whole thread in plain text (markdown formatted) on SN.
Otherwise NOBODY will click on a twatter link.
If you are too lazy to copy/paste, is your fault again. On SN we appreciate PoW not lazyness....
FUCK THAT SHIT.

In the shadows of communist-era Czechoslovakia, a quiet rebellion was underway. Whispers, quick handshakes, and a single word — “vexl” — were the tools of trade for the veksláci, the underground currency traders who defied a broken system.
The name “veksláci” comes from the German word “wechsel,” meaning “to exchange.” They were more than traders—they were lifelines for those desperate to break free from the economic chains of a communist regime.
With strict controls on foreign currency and goods, access to Western luxuries was a pipe dream for most. But the veksláci worked around the system, trading cash for freedom.
For those who managed to get their hands on foreign currency, there was another catch: Tuzex stores. These exclusive shops were filled with Western goods — jeans, cigarettes, music, electronics — but you couldn’t just shop there with regular money.
To buy from Tuzex, you needed special vouchers called bony. These vouchers were often out of reach for ordinary people, as access to Tuzex was largely reserved for the privileged elite.
The veksláci stepped in, trading foreign currency for bony and acting as a bridge between the people and the goods they craved. Without them, Tuzex might as well have been a museum of unattainable luxury.
Operating in the legal gray, veksláci thrived in discreet locations like border crossings, hotel lobbies, and tourist hotspots. Their whispered calls of “bony, bony” were a lifeline for those seeking to defy state control.
Of course, it was risky. The veksláci faced constant threats of arrest or worse. But their grit, ingenuity, and determination made them icons of resistance in a society that punished self-reliance.
Fast forward to today: the spirit of the veksláci lives on in Bitcoin and, fittingly, in the app
@vexl
, and is one of the reasons Czech Republic is considered by many to be the bitcoin capital of the world.
What is Vexl? Vexl is a modern, peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading app that channels the ethos of the veksláci. It’s private, trust-based, and doesn’t require KYC. Start trading bitcoin the way it was intended. P2P and with no KYC

Personally not a fan of mammoth texts on SN, but since DC has raised concerns, lemme work some copy and pasta magic.
