I just found out that my bank is against anyone of their customers buying bitcoin or bitcoin related things like hard wallets. I have heard it somewhere and would like to confirm or not the following. Of course when I tried to pay for a hard wallet with my credit card, it was declined by the bank. I have heard that if you buy bitcoin through your bank by wire transfer, they have no way of knowing what you bought. Is this true? If it is can I rest assured that the bank will not find out I bought bitcoin this way? I live in Canada, does anyone know a bank that has not problems with you buying bitcoin?
This is weird, any bank should allow their customers to buy any piece of hardware (Like a hardware wallet), they must understand it's your money, and not their money. even if you want to spend it in bitches and cocaine isn't their business.
They know what you are buying if you are paying directly to the hardware wallet company or if you are depositing directly to an exchange. They should have black-listed companies. That's how they know what are you buying.
Canada has some hard laws against bitcoin, but you can always go to the bank to withdraw some cash, and make a deposit to buy bitcoins in localbitcoins. I would recommend you to talk with your bank and give them an ultimatum, if they don't let you spend your money then change to another bank or use paypal.
