    I made it to Citizen !!!

    Was a hundred euro short, was waiting for July to upgrade my pledge ok? Then i hear banks are closing down (here's to me living in Greece of all places..), was like ok, i knew that, got money stashed, got friends abroad just in case it all comes down no worries, so all good. Well figuratively. Then i hear that capital control additionally entails the blocking of any transaction outside the borders..!.. I did not like that, goals are goals, lol.. so i thought i got a few minutes left until Monday "begins", let's try it out anyway! And it worked, payment accepted! Fourty nine minutes prior to the bank system closing down, lol

    (got money stashed, am good for some weeks, after that..well, never been to Argentina, seems like now i won't have to..)

    Anyway, as stated, whether to laugh or cry, your call..
    I cannot fathom the immaturity behind such an action. Can only glee in knowledge of my having made it! See you online, sometime near launch! As per plan!

    I am glad you made it! I feel bad for the people who this might harm in your country. I will pray for the best for you all.

    I wish you luck, all of you. In the next few weeks, a lot can happen over there. It would be greatly appreciated if you could keep us updated about conditions and such. If this ends up off topic, please start a conversation with me. Again, best of luck to you.

    If nothing else, you will be able to sell on the pledge again in other currencies later, if times get really hard; consider it a safe investment as well as a potential source of pleasure in the short term.

    This isn't really the place to get into the insane political world view that thinks cutting off someone's legs helps them to run faster, but we live in extra-ordinary times, so who knows what the sensible thing to have done as an individual was? Thus I'm not going to make a call if I'd have done what you did; I'm not sure I even know myself. All I will say is I have my fingers crossed for you and everyone in your country, and I hope New Britannia gives you a bit of escapism you may so desperately need...

    Oh, and nice Motorhead quote ;)
