It is definitely the authorities that make it much a complicated business. The reason why crypto is so good because it allows for decentralization and privacy for those who need it and in times where our data is easily obtained and used for purposes we are not aware of, privacy is a great value.
Usdt is a crypto, and it is centralized, and can also be frozen even in your own wallet, and this is just one example, when you say crypto, take note that you are talking about BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

BTC ia decentralized, but not all cryptocurrencies are, as for privacy when using BTC, you have to use privacy solutions, or simpy do BTC->xmr->BTC. Take note that so many people still use centralized exchanges, so even when they use BTC, a third party is still in the possession of their data.

When I first went to a bank and applied for an account they asked me lots of requirements. They interviewed me about the funds to enter into my account, just because my facial appearance is not pleasing they discriminated against me and told me that I only get a $400 limit on my account, anything beyond that would face a possible freeze of my account. They will interrogate me further about the excess funds.

Imagine, getting that lower limit while in Bitcoin wallets this is not a problem, that's why I only use banks for some small transactions and do not fully trust my money because of what they are doing to me, just because I look suspicious to them.

I prefer only to save my bitcoins in my crypto wallet and not fully trust the banks with my money for I never deposited a large sum of money to them.

The simple fact Bitcoin cannot be frozen the way fiat money often is makes BTC/Crypto a great choice in many situations. Bitcoin is one of the few truly great things to happen this century!

What we need to understand is that Bitcoin transactions are different from other transactions like banks, Bitcoin can not be compared to other transactions because Bitcoin transactions are greater than them in any way and you can do any amount of transactions you can without not any complaints about the amount you did, bank accounts are different and that is why they are controlled by the central bank, Cryptocurrency is much better but each one of them has their advantages and disadvantages, you can transfer as much as you like in bitcoin, but when you have a mistake and transfer to another wallet you can’t trace the owner unless the person is god fearing and want to refund it.

Banks can trace the owner of an account and even get his or her details through the application used to open a bank account and that is why you can’t open an account without having good details, I don’t see anything concerning the bank's problem during transactions before you make any transactions make sure you think well and do the transaction to the limit that the bank won’t stop your transaction.

Something happened today which makes my choice of bitcoin more stronger than the centralized fiat and traditional banking system.

I transferred some amount of cash to someone to get me a few items I would be needing for my project at hand, a day after I received a call from the him that his account has been freezed due to the amount received into the account that the bank told him it was above the account grade and he has to come with some required documents for the upgrade to a higher tier and this has to shift my schedule I have arranged for my project to a day further.

While I was with a feeling of  disappointed I recalled I have been stacking a few unit's of bitcoin in my wallet and have never experienced this crazy shit neither have I heard any bitcoiner make such a lousy complain about bitcoin whatever the amount of bitcoin transfered into their wallet. I don't think there's anyway the fiat system can be compared to bitcoin, the more experiences I encounter the more I see how advanced and greater purposes bitcoin serves.


If we talk about the reasons or want to compare fiat with bitcoin, it is clear that bitcoin is superior in any case, especially with the sophistication of technology in bitcoin, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the bitcoin system compared to the banking system which is full of shortcomings. the example you gave, the bank easily freezes your account without prior notice and can even confiscate your money. Because the Bank is controlled by an entity, this is different from bitcoin, no one controls it, no entity can freeze your assets unless you lose the seed phrase.

However, the problem with freezing your account, usually you can come to the bank, especially if the amount of money frozen is large, to file a complaint and ask why your bank account was frozen. Because there could also be an error or mistake in the bank's system. But what is clear is that we both need banks and bitcoin, banks to make transactions, especially if you have a business, while bitcoin is a future investment to achieve financial freedom.

It is their system so you have to play by their rules, however on the past you really had no option as there was not really any alternative for those that were sick and tired of those situations coming up, however now with bitcoin we have an option, and while this can happen to you if you keep your bitcoin in an exchange or online wallet, if you keep your bitcoin stored on a wallet only you control, then you can be sure something like this is never going to happen to you.

You usually look back 5 to seven years ago, and see how Bitcoin was doing, and how Bitcoin is doing today. Just by looking at the short span of time, you will surely know that the Bitcoin word has spread among the local people. But it is best to hold on to Bitcoin because a lot of people hold Bitcoin and those who have held Bitcoin for a long time have had the highest success. So if you confirm this then it is definitely best to hold on to Bitcoins.



I do actually agree with you, there's a lot of innovation or improvements into a lot of field that is connected with cryptocurrency. We do process transactions online more easily, its just that not all people really know how cryptocurrency works. However, ever since bitcoin was released more and more people are accessing and making their own profits using bitcoin in a various ways such as trading, holding and etc. It is better to use bitcoin also to transfer a huge amount of money and it is more secure for us than transferring money using local banks that are prone to account freezing because they will check your profit or the amount of money you're transferring.

I'm not an expert, but I'll try to say what I understand about this scenario (whether it's true or not).

I transferred some amount of cash to someone to get me a few items I would be needing for my project at hand, a day after I received a call from the him that his account has been freezed due to the amount received into the account that the bank told him it was above the account grade and he has to come with some required documents for the upgrade to a higher tier and this has to shift my schedule I have arranged for my project to a day further.
How much is the amount that you put into your friend's account? I mean you know that you are transferring a huge amount of money. Why didn't you ask the limits of his bank including the amount of money that he can receive on a daily/monthly/yearly basis? That's being irresponsible on your part. Take note that you're transferring a huge amount of money (huge enough to make an account freeze), so at least put the limits into consideration.

While I was with a feeling of  disappointed I recalled I have been stacking a few unit's of bitcoin in my wallet and have never experienced this crazy shit neither have I heard any bitcoiner make such a lousy complain about bitcoin whatever the amount of bitcoin transfered into their wallet. I don't think there's anyway the fiat system can be compared to bitcoin, the more experiences I encounter the more I see how advanced and greater purposes bitcoin serves.
Well, that's the power of decentralization. Nobody can freeze your account (in this case, wallet) even you transfer billions of Bitcoins. The thing about these banks is, they can just freeze your account anytime they wanted to as long as they have seen suspicious transactions on your account. They might saw your transaction as somewhat "suspicious" because of the fact that it's a huge one hence, they froze your friend's account.

At the end of the day, there are still things that only Bitcoin can do but at the same time, there are also things that only the current fiat system can do.
Yes I agree with you, Bitcoin can do a lot of things but not all the things centralized banking system could do that it may handle effectively and accurately, so for instance,if you send money using the traditional banking system to a customer successfully and he tries to deny it you can Sue him with his name on the transaction details and it will be judges friendly than when you initiate such transactions with his BTC wallet address and many more, we just need to check what we what, how we want it with respect to time and safety be centered in our heart or the advantages and disadvantages before choosing means or mode of transacting...

Well, sentiments on one side, it was never your fault that his account got suspended. As an account owner, it's his responsibility to make sure that his account is on top tier level of savings so as to be able to accommodate any amount that comes to his account. I think many banks gives you infinite number of deposits but there is a cap on amount you can withdraw from a savings account.

I don't see the upgrade as big deal, let him go to the bank and provide some papers and under some hours the account will be allow to make transactions more larger than his already cap without any problems.

Bitcoin gives you upper hand above any other currency you can ever think about but it has its own limitations. The client you paid money to that had his account frozen could have accepted Bitcoin instead of fiat but I guess he wouldn't because not every seller want to go through selling their Bitcoin for fiats again since they are business people and always in need of money. This where is see challenge for Bitcoin since it's not a legal entity in majority of countries.

Something happened today which makes my choice of bitcoin more stronger than the centralized fiat and traditional banking system.

My reason for choosing Bitcoin is very simple - I know that it is the asset that all other cryptocurrencies are equal to. I do not like altcoins, they all look like dirt, except for very rare exceptions. Once upon a time, altcoins were serious, they were developed not for the hype, but for the technology. And we all believed that the next altcoin is a significant contribution to our crypto world. And now everyone is obsessed with hype, and not with the technological background. Therefore, my choice now is only Bitcoin.

Comparing bitcoin with the centralized fiat system is like comparing Apple devices with a Nokia 3310 phone, bith have no way of comparison because the only thing they have in common is that, both can make and recieve calls and text message, but talking about other technological aspect, both can't be compared to the other.

Fiat is all about centralization, while bitcoin is all about decentralization, both are fighting and representing different courses.
For those who choose the centralized part of finance or money, they be ready for such kyc verifications, upgrade and so on, even in cryptocurrency, centralized exchanges have such a system where your account is limited to receiving and send out a certain amount of money based on one's kyc level.
But coming to non-custodial wallets, such things are non existent, and this is what makes this industry very unique from what people see to be the norm in our society today.

Someone has found a truth that is more valuable than gold. With all their rules and restrictions, traditional banks are slowing us down. Bitcoin isnt just about making things easier; its also about freedom. The stuffy institutions dont have any control over this digital cash. It can be used for money and as a sign of freedom. An oasis of clarity in a suffocating world. Bitcoin is the very heart of independence and detachment.

This person's story perfectly shows how Bitcoin can change things. Not only is it about money, but also about getting rid of old ways of doing things and accepting the futuure. This problem with the bank only shows how far behind they are in our fast-paced, tech-savvy world.
In all honesty, we are saying all of these because we are all bitcoin enthusiasts and we are all dedicated to bitcoin, but if we will hear from the banks part, they will also claim that fiat has a lot more advantages than bitcoin or any other currency, and that won’t change the fact that fiat or dollar is still the global currency, while bitcoin has not yet approved even as a reserved currency. However, bitcoin is already working on its progress, but it’s still too far when it comes to global usage compared to fiat or dollar.

If you count people who is in this community majority love bitcoin and it's few will say that they love bitcoin, now let me state categorically  the reason I personally develop much passion on bitcoin, is because bitcoin doesn't require permission from government or anyone before  it can be that successful, so I know very well that since government can't control bitcoin price and when you invest on bitcoin you are in charge of when you will sell and when not to sell, I think that is one of the things that gives people such courage to participate in bitcoin investment, really bitcoin doesn't have third party.

Yes, it's true that's one disadvantages fiat has against Bitcoin due to the amount limit placed on the different tiers of account holding, of which when it comes to Bitcoin, a user is free to deposit or withdraw an unlimited account, inasmuch as he could afford the transaction fees. So it's so sad you had to experience this delay in executing your project, and I think this should be a lesson to you to always learn to ask anybody you intend to transfer money to next time that how much is his/her account limit, so as to how much that could be sent to avoid such delay next time.
As what makes us good contractors or project supervisor is our ability to learn from past mistakes
There are so many reasons why we should keep holding Bitcoin because it has cut the strong linkage between we and the government making transactions much more easily for us compared to using the traditional way of banking. We can bank a lot of Bitcoin in our wallet and no way would question us on submitting documents to confirm that we are the true owner of such funds. The crypto market is growing so far that many people have started investing in the market too so that they can take the advantage of owning cryptocurrency coupled withe the advantages that is beneath. We can always should people the way so they can always learn about crypto, and the use of wallet to enhance their cryptocurrency security.

Or some people are unhappy when the bank charges fees but people forget one thing: the bank is doing business, not a charity fund. They establish businesses and provide services for us to use, they have the right to charge fees if we want to use their services. They don't force us to open an account or deposit money for them if we don't feel satisfied with the rules they set.

Meanwhile, we still have to pay transaction fees for each bitcoin transaction but no one complains. We should be fair with everything, we need to make objective comparisons, don't just badmouth everything else just for the sake of exaggerating bitcoin because that doesn't make bitcoin better.
You are right because Banks provide services where they employ many people so any cost cuts are to provide salaries to their employees. In this case we have to understand why fees are cut for all kinds and that's how banking works even though in general we see them almost completely sucking the blood of customers when lending money to them and I think this is another issue from the discussion we are discussing.

Objectively we don't need to compare banks with bitcoin because both have different functions. Moreover we will use both according to our needs and bitcoin will be much more needed for investment matters and vice versa with Banks.

Is there anyone here who doesn't use and eliminate banks from their lives? I guess no one, not even the OP. We don't need to compare as we can use both and make use of them as both can be used for different use cases.
Almost most of us have or often use banking services, especially for those who conquer business. Actually, all we need to do is take advantage of both according to our needs and do not need to compare one with the other. Although we realize that the banking system has a level of weakness that may be very uncomfortable to use. But if we talk about the need for their services, then maybe it is an alternative that we can use.

I think you have to come up with a strong belief that makes you choose bitcoin over fiat money, not just like the cited situation, as it is never reasonable enough to consider.

I think we should have to figure out what benefits we get from using bitcoin this time because I see that fiat money still plays an important role. We believe that bitcoin is the future, but still, we can be assured of how it will look a few years from now, which leaves the majority undecided. 
It is necessary that everything be clear to us before making a final move.

Bitcoin for now is the best means of making a financial transaction which will present you with no glitches at all, that is if we identified on this and are willing to learn more on the use of bitcoin on different applicable aspect of the economy we run for our daily life, as we already knew, using fiat has a lot of challenges in which we could prefer the use of bitcoin over them, just as from the scenario of what OP used as an example which is a live experience, such couldn't have happened if it were to be on a decentralized network like we have with bitcoin.

~snip.
For ATM withdrawals, there is definitely a daily limit given by the Bank and it depends on what type of card you hold. Especially in my country, the types of ATM cards are different and the amount of withdrawals that can be withdrawn in 24 hours varies. But if the withdrawal is made at their teller, the amount is unlimited and can be done as the account owner wishes.
Many people will complain that they feel uncomfortable every time they go to withdraw money because bank staff have to ask them to verify personal information when it is their money. If they do not do this and there is theft, and our property is lost, who will be responsible?

Or some people are unhappy when the bank charges fees but people forget one thing: the bank is doing business, not a charity fund. They establish businesses and provide services for us to use, they have the right to charge fees if we want to use their services. They don't force us to open an account or deposit money for them if we don't feel satisfied with the rules they set.

Meanwhile, we still have to pay transaction fees for each bitcoin transaction but no one complains. We should be fair with everything, we need to make objective comparisons, don't just badmouth everything else just for the sake of exaggerating bitcoin because that doesn't make bitcoin better.


~snip
If we want to be honest, banks are still quite needed as a necessary step, especially for those who are business people or people involved in sending money between countries. We can see how large a percentage of people now use transactions through banks even though there are now many services that provide money transfers. People trust banks more because they have legality from the government even though there are systems and weaknesses in them.

Bitcoin is an alternative for users because we are aware that it is impossible to use the banking system to store value because of the nature of money which depreciates day by day. So as long as we can get benefits, then pursue bitcoin as an investment step by saving its assets and there is no need to compare bitcoin with the banking system.

Is there anyone here who doesn't use and eliminate banks from their lives? I guess no one, not even the OP. We don't need to compare as we can use both and make use of them as both can be used for different use cases.
