Can you imagine? Banks claim to be blocking people and businesses because of the FTX collapse. How many banks have they stopped because of the ugly past of many UK banks that went insolvent?
The problem of one establishment out of many should never be a yardstick in judging others. For me, these banks are anti-crypto and their actions are high level of hypocrisy.
Can't you see? They know what's best for you and where you should be sending your money, or not.
What you should be asking yourself (and them) is: whose money is it? Is it mine, or is it the banks? Because when I have a house and I decide to paint it blue, I can do it without asking anyone. If I have a car and I want to drive it until the engine blows, I can do it. I own this money, but I can't spend it on the things I want?
