... and it's almost exactly the same words...


if one were so inclined, one could think that the banks were issued standard response statements to use for BTC accounts that they wish to close...

or they have the same lawyer that wrote it up... or they have the same letter for all T&C 'violations'...

or they all just sound the same when the open their mouths.



when will the BTC community come together to open a 'crowd funded' bank? there must be some country where a licence would be easy to get...?!

The problem being that if a new bank opens to specifically cater for BTC, the other banks simply won't lend to them, thus stopping them in their tracks on day 1.

Also - if you set up a bank, you're an 'insider' and you would benefit most from the current fiat system. Why would you actively promote Bitcoin?
