? It is literally uncountable how many times the big banks stole money from regular people. Crypto indeed is a good place to store money.

When this happens with big bank, you could try going to the court.

When this happens to crypto, you got nobody to blame but yourself.

Great. So not only I lost my money but now I'm getting an assignment as well. Which will last many years and at best will result in recovering a fraction of what I lost and the most likely outcome us not getting anything back and possibly paying more.

Ah yes, big bank, bad. Government, very bad. Crypto good. Sure.

Huh? You literally mean a bank took your money from your account?

Which ones?

[latchkey]

I had the California State Board of Equalization empty one of my bank accounts without warning because they thought I owned them back taxes. I had moved out of the country and wasn't filing California taxes, which was a mistake. You still have to file a 0 tax.

I still haven't gotten my money back.

Dude, there are whole countries where the Goverment just stopped everyone from getting their money out of the Bank. Greek for example, just a few years ago. It's not something very rare nor do you have to be in a third world country.

Fwiw I've heard many horror stories about Paypal

[MrGilbert]

Paypal is not considered a bank, which is the root of many problems we are facing with paypal.
