banks usually temporary close accounts that raise flags, these are accounts that are doing a lot of bitcoin trading and we are talking about large volumes not a small user buying some bitcoin every now and then with small amounts of money. and i think it is partly because these exchanges are not regulated so there are some red flags about them anyways.
if your bank is causing you any trouble then simply close your account with that bank and move to another one.

You know, one of my plans was to buy numerous Bitcoin and Ethereum polo shirt and wear them (to help promote). I'll still keep trying what I can to spread the word.

you won't be "spreading the word" by wearing a shirt and talking about "trading" bitcoin and pump and dump altcoins like ethereum. the only way to "spread the word" is to actually start spending bitcoin.
when was the last time you paid for something with bitcoin if ever? when was the last time you asked a merchant if they accepted bitcoin payment?

I've heard a lot of stories about crypto traders that often do large volume cash deposits and bank transfers, and their banks have even sometimes closed their accounts due to how much volume there is, and often times the government gets involved and tries to tax them as much as possible.

And yes, that is true. Wearing a t-shirt around isn't that much of a help as actually using your BTC for merchants, and promoting BTC adoption.

You know, one of my plans was to buy numerous Bitcoin and Ethereum polo shirt and wear them (to help promote). However, as it stands right now, I'm afraid I can't do that because I could be held as a user of cryptocurrency.

There's very little chance that your bank will go as far as checking what kind of clothes you are wearing to determine whether you're a cryptocurrency user or not. Usually they just notice that you send or withdraw fiat money from exchanges to their bank, and then decide to freeze your accounts, because they don't want to risk serving customer whose money they can't track. Just don't connect your account with anything crypto-related and you will be fine.

Even if you do that, and leave your bank alone, a lot of times when you are doing large volume transactions, they will suspect that you are dealing with cryptocurrency trading.
