I'm 22 and I do local BTC transactions on the side.

"Times have changed, to be honest with you, after 9/11 you have to disclose everything" (not in the audio, if someone really doesn't trust me on this part, I will upload it but it is hard to hear)
-Chase ManagerI was trying to do a withdraw at Chase, the teller called the manager over and she started taking a while. I asked if there was a problem, she wouldn't answer. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal.
The manager started asking me what I was going to do with my money, I politely told her that I value my privacy and would like to keep it to myself.
She told me that I am moving too much money for a college account and that college students usually do small transactions like food or books. She then brought up 9/11 and terrorism saying that they have to keep track of who has what money.
I have most of it recorded, but we are living in a total nanny state, it is disgusting.
In the end, she told me that they closed my account and that I would get a check in the mail with all of my money.
From now on, I am going to live on Cash and Bitcoin. I don't think I will be opening a banking account for a while. I know that might sound crazy, but I can manage.
Long live Bitcoin
ETA: I hope this is the right section
