I'm running out of patience for banks
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>My paycheck got in so of course in the next blink of an eye I was on the exchange for a new shopping session.</p> <p>I select the coin, enter the sum, card details, shoe size, number of fingers etc. You get the point. Then as a child on Christmas morning I hit buy.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Transaction failed.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Haha, I guess dumbass me misspelled something so I go again.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Transaction failed.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Oooooooook? I check the <del>credit</del> debit(sorry) card balance, everything correct. Exchange, correct. Account, correct. Proceed again with caution and sweat by typing one number/letter at a time like defusing a bomb.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Transaction <del>accepted</del> failed.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Great, now I need new pants. I'm calling the bank.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Disclaimer: no criminal record, no police encounters, no drugs, no fights. Nothing. </p> <p>I'm a basic human that works a basic job, gets paid for it, buys crypto and coffee, pays some bills every month. That's it.</p> <p>I use my bank account to get my paycheck, spend it and repeat. I'm cleaner than a priest on a sunday.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>I identify myself to them and and start asking questions. Some bored guy who I seem to bother with my questions and worries starts to check stuff(no hate, I understand he gotta live too, but still an important detail).</p> <p>He tells me that my account is temporarily suspended for investigation. To be honest, apart from being broke and buying crypto, my account does nothing so I ask him to explain why I need to be InVeStIgAtEd.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <h1>The Explanation</h1> <p>"ExchangeName is a company that we don't know of, has no history and a suspicious activity. We can't let our customers support these types of companies or get bankrupt because of them. We are running this investigation only for your safety."</p> <p>...or at least that's what he thinks so. Yes, he literally said that. </p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>ExchangeName - one of the top 3 crypto exchanges. Everything I did was entirely legal. I bought crypto before this.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>So a guy that talks to me with disgust gets to tell me what I can do and what I can't do with <em>my money</em>. </p> <p>Having a bank decide what I can do and do not with the money that I WORK for - not them, not anyone; my time, my money - it's just insane. This is sick.</p> <p>​</p> <p>​</p> <p>Can't wait for banks to become ruin and history.
