Can't you send the money from TW to a third-party prepaid card account and then buy bitcoin with that third-party prepaid card? TW will get to see nothing other than card provider it went to.

p.s if this restriction is not in T&C then we will soon know if TW reads this forum :D.

They block what they can, if they suspect it's used mainly for crypto, but obviously they can't block everything.
A good recent example is the TW => Mister Tango route block.

Fintech companies (due to banks they use) deciding where you spend your money especially when cash is fading away in Europe is simply totalitarianism in the making - no exaggeration.

I can honestly imagine 10 years from now all merchants accepting EU issued cards around the world are going to be forced to register in some EU database in order to be able to accept EU card payments ns2. With cash gone I can imagine they can then track everything you spend money on......welcome to the future :(.
