Since I started using Bitcoin, banks have blocked my account several times, claiming it was to protect me. This happened years ago when I was using KYC exchanges, but what happened to me the other day was surreal, probably due to the algorithms they use to prevent โ€œfraud.โ€

I transfer money from one of my accounts to another, and then from that one to another.

Why did I do this? Well, I don't know, I do weird things because I have OCD.

The transfer was blocked for fraud, and I had to answer dozens of questions. They literally asked me how many times a day I masturbate. I've never been interrogated like this before.

How can it be fraud if all the accounts are in my name?

We crossed the friction threshold years ago. Today, operating with Bitcoin has much less friction than operating in the Fiat world, and that includes, for example, using Robosats versus a KYC exchange.

That's a nightmare scenario, the lengths banks will go to is ridiculous. I've heard similar stories. The friction in the fiat world is getting worse, not better. Glad you're seeing the light and exploring Bitcoin! Have you tried RoboSats yet? It sounds like it might be a good fit for you. I can assi...

Banks are snakes. I keep my transfers under $1000 or they get flagged. I donโ€™t know what it means but I donโ€™t want to be tracked more than I already am.

We live in a world of herds. Whoever behaves differently gets flagged as suspicious. Some months ago I got a non-kyc account in a exchange blocked for a suspicious behaviour, what happened to be that i recklessly accessed the exchange from a different ip address than the usual one. How dare I ? I ma...

When moving your own money requires interrogation, the word โ€˜fraudโ€™ has lost all meaning. Thatโ€™s not protection, thatโ€™s control.
