I am very new to Bitcoin and have been spending a ton of time trying to learn as much as I can about it. Yesterday, I wrote what I thought was an innocent, friendly thread to get some feedback. Shortly post thread, I was pounded for being a "freeloader" because I am a Bitcoin holder, not a user. So before I ask my question....let me just say, "I come in peace, friends!" We all want the same thing...the moon. My question is a general one about Bitcoin companies and their banking practices. Why do major exchanges do their banking in places like Slovenia? Is there really that much regulation concern in the States or even in a place like Switzerland? It just seems risky and strange to me that such a brilliant phenomenon with incredible promise would rely on banking in such remote parts of the world. No offense to Slovenia but I would not want my money in their banks. If you have enough money, you even have to be careful of banking in the U.S. I think the FDIC only insures deposits up to 500k. Kind regards.

Don't worry bro this is the internet. People don't think twice about calling you this and that. What difference does it make, its not like you will ever see any of us in real life or anything.

Its probably easier to do it in remote places (banking laws etc). US has some exchanges (coinbase). They could have more if more people could raise hundreds of thousands to fund an exchange.

And just read posts before you post something (many people ask stuff and you see replies etc)

When I make a post, I try to be general because if I be specific (and I am wrong - like something I don't know what I am talking about) then people would call me on my bs.

By the way, here are some cool sites so you could learn more and watch for yourself (to see what is going on)
coindesk, bitcoinwisdom, btcpredictions, litecointalk, bitcointicker, bitcoinity, search google news and type in bitcoin
(anyone have any other nice sites feel free to pm me thanks)
