The thing is... Why do people pay a premium for bitcoin when they can just buy it from an exchange by linking their bank? There are a lot of people that intentionally want to remain anonymous because they are laundering money or made the money illegally. I have asked some borrowers before why they can afford such high interest rates and they have told me the about their customers.

It's sheep like you that are part of the "usefull idiots" of the world (read it), happily turning over all of their information, habits, and data to whomever wants it. Some of us value our privacy for the simple sake of "If you aren't ME, you don't have any right to know what I DO until it affects OTHERS."

Very poor thinking Edric. If you're not the customer, you're the PRODUCT.

Of course not. But, not having a bank account and still needing bitcoin is definitely suspicious.

Another one here. If I don't have a bank account and I still want to invest in Gold because I think it'll go up in value or I think Russia and the US will finally get tired of slapping each other and go to full out war then I'm suspicious? You're thinking like a 13 year old girl. Long term is the only game to play.

I agree that people should be free from having to have a bank account in order to exchange Bitcoins. Bitcoin is a threat to all banks and all the propagandists out there love to use tactics like linking Bitcoiners to crime in order to protect the mass profits of banks. Banks make more money than anyone else so of course they're going to propagate bullshit about criminals using it to the masses.
