RE: Life hack: Buy a cheap smartphone as a backup... like a REALLY cheap phone

I still can't complete registration on Binance because no amount of VPNs or having the correct documentation will convince Binance.us I am in the USA. Binance.com won't help me with anything in Cambodia because I'm an American citizen, and the whole situation is laughable. Blockchains, DeFi, so many high-tech sounding things, but accounting for the millions of people that live as residents outside their own countries is still beyond the scope of this tech.
I just closed my Cambodian bank account yesterday because I was asked in an automated notification that all USA residents must come and register their American tax info with the bank. Now we're back to using my wife's bank account and Binance.
it really is a pain in the ass. I stay away from the big exchanges whenever possible. Thankfully the USA hasn't dug their tax claws into Thai banks (which are the only banks I have even though I live in Vietnam) and I hope it stays that way. Otherwise I will probably have no choice but to simply not have a bank account either.
I just want to be left alone, America. Is that really too much to ask?
