It is racist and discriminatory.
Its not racist. You can be a Korean citizen of any race. You can apply for citizenship. You simply have to follow the process.

It IS discriminatory based on nationality, as well as age.

I'm not big into crypto, but I can understand why some countries, especially those with lingering concerns over foreign domination, might be leery about having their domestic markets subject to foreign manipulation or takeover.

No, I don't have to be a citizen and Asian countries don't give out citizenship like they do in the west.  Korean residents in Canada denied service because they are Korean and not Canadian would bring on a major lawsuit.  You can be a racist (because you defend it.)   if you want, but I still say it's unacceptable.  I will continue to support access for all legal residents in a country.  There is no reason to exclude me from putting my own money into something I choose to.  My race should be irrelevant.  Reminds me when they set up ATEK years ago to fight racism then half them pussied out and wouldn't push back at all.  Needless to say foreigners haven't advanced too much and the group fell apart.  Typical stupid foreigners folding instead of standing united.  Cowards.

The West doesn't give out citizenship either, well as long as the Democrats aren't in charge.

Obviously the circumstances are not directly comparable as foreign workers are still able to buy houses (as in Korea), however Canada has acted to do something about a volatile sector of the economy they feel is being subject to foreign influence that is having or could have a negative result. Same with Korea.

Yes there is- Wanting to protect the domestic market from foreign manipulation or any unforeseen effects due to foreign destabilization.

Korea does not exist to serve the interests of foreigners. It exists to serve the interests of Koreans.

ATEK folded because they were run by idiots who believed that attention-getting advocacy was the way to build a group, rather than delivering services to the group members. They chose a "flash in a pan" organizational model and concept and got a flash in the pan result.

Perhaps if they had focused first and building a cohesive membership through providing services to members, that would convince people to start paying them dues and provided services in return that made people have confidence in the group, they'd have set themselves up in a position to do something. However, they didn't. They thought b*tching and getting headlines was better than serving the people they claimed to represent.

They were suppose to fight racism and half of them cowered out.
