On the bright side, You bought bitcoins in 2011.

My bank was much more polite, they asked me what I was doing because they had seen a bunch of people transferring to the same offshore account(mtgox). Had to explain what Bitcoin was but then they were fine with it.

I ran a bitcoin price leaderboard website, and my bank sent me a termination letter. Will be interesting to see how they react to this

[dependenttypes]

Was it connected to your bank account in some way?

[buboard]

no! no money exchanges was going through the website. it was my business account however

[dependenttypes]

I am confused. If no money exchange was going through the website then how did they found out that you were running it?

[buboard]

They went through the websites on my portfolio as part of KYC.

[dependenttypes]

Really weird that this is even legal.

My (semi)local credit union, A+FCU [1] threatened to shut mine down because of Coinbase verification deposits in 2017.

[1] Yes, their name has a + in it, I was dumbfounded that the super-conservative banking system allowed that.

The joke is very rarely on the banker.
