Hi

We are a firm dealing with scrap gold and bullion based in Central London. We are dipping our toes into the world of bitcoin and as a starting point will have a few listings on bitmit.net for gold bullion. Username; Bullion333

We wanted to announce our website to the bitcoin community with much fanfare, but have been stopped in our tracks by our bank ( HSBC ). They found out about our plans to launch a site selling bullion for bitcoin during an innocent conversation at our local branch in central London. After being summonsed to the managers office, like a naughty schoolboy, they threatened to pull all funding and close all accounts on our existing business, unless we reversed our plans. Even through our company has been trading for a number of years and is profitable.

Bitcoin is a powerful disruptive technology and the banks are running sacred.

Fortunately, we have a few options in place as we are an established business.
