Topic: Banks Suck - page 5. (Read 6175 times)
Welcome to fiat currencies. Where a 3rd party entity suddenly can take control of your money and do whatever they please with it without facing consequences under law. Happened in Greece, happens everywhere. It's not something that can ever be trusted with large sums of money. They'll screw you over 10/10 times.
I just visited the bank... denied until Monday. 
Global adoption can't happen soon enough, what a crock of shit this fiat banking system is.
Global adoption can't happen soon enough, what a crock of shit this fiat banking system is.
What happened exactly?
There's a reason there is a sarcastic saying that implies people don't work much, it's called "working banker's hours." Global adoption of Bitcoin will be great but I think the fiat system needs to remain for Bitcoin to flourish. If the fiat system disappears the Bitcoin system will be completely exposed to manipulation (as we've seen with fiat.)
What happened? I took a cheque I received to a branch of the bank that issued it and they refused to cash it until Monday.
Aren't you able to deposit the cheque at the ATM? ATM's are 24 hours and I usually do my deposits on the rare occasion that I receive a cheque.
No.
What country do you live in if you don't mind me asking? And is that how banks in general work where you are or just your particular bank?
Get your money instantly, spendable in about 10 minutes, that's how Bitcoin works. No waiting days or weeks, no lineups, no fishy smelling tellers, no clunky ATMs. Bitcoin doesn't care what country you're in.

Ya the bank has been really sucky these days bitcoin is better
Banks have become sucking only because now we are the owners of bitcoins. Or else before bitcoins came into existence we didn't had any other option rather than using the banking system for sending and receiving money but now things have changed and it will change in the coming years.

I wonder how much we'll awaken as a civilization in this next decade. Corporations are constantly being revealed as fraudulent so maybe if we talk to our political reps we can actually see some change happen. Slow change is better than no change at all.

What bullshit! If they had the cash on hand to cover the amount AND it was an amount that wouldn't leave them vulnerable until Monday they absolutely should have cashed the cheque for you!
Aren't you glad that your account isn't with this bank?
as we know that central banks are currently the dominant structure nations use to manage their economies. and they have monopoly power and are not going to give up that power without a fight,meanwhile Bitcoin and other digital currencies have generated significant interest for better curency than fiat, but government support for them is virtually nonexistent.
not that significant, i still find the interest in crypto a tiny drop in the ocean compared to fiat, there is the need to catch many more people's interest, if you want to compete with major circuit and bank, right now we can at best compete with paypal and all its clone
Your words are music to my ears. 
Every time someone complain to me about their banks, I answer them with this... "Why do you not switch to Bitcoin?"
You stand before them with the Blue pill and the Green Pill.... They already had a taste of the Blue {Banking} pill... and the experience was bad... You are giving them the option to take another pill... They can chose to stay with the Blue pill, or they can try the Green pill.
Go Neo... Try the Green pill ...You will realize the truth, when you take the Green pill.... {The Blue pill is not your only option anymore}
This puts me in the mood, to watch "The Matrix" again.

So you're recommending people to switch to bitcoin, in terms of transactions? If they want to send somebody money, they need to convert their money in btc and send that btc to somebody who also has a bitcoin wallet. If you are recommending people to switch to bitcoin to store their savings, you think they wouldn't fucking kill you if they put their life's savings in bitcoin and there is a spike down and they lose more than half of their savings? What will you say to them in terms of emergency then? 'HODL?'
You can recommend something to someone and explain the pro's and con's to them, and leave the decision to them. I am not putting a gun next to these people's heads and forcing them to switch to Bitcoin.
I show them, that there are other alternatives to what they have at the moment.
It's still a high risk, and I make sure to highlight these risks, when I introduce them to Bitcoin. It's just a great conversation starter, if someone starts to complain about their bad experience with their banks.
One of the people I introduced to Bitcoin, sold some of his shares and bought Bitcoins with it. He made a $6040 profit from selling it. That profit was for a 2 months investment... His yearly profit from that, would
have been $2034. It's things like this, that make me smile... He knew all the risks, and went for it... I got a FREE lunch and a friend for life.

Having business opportunities pass you by while the bank sits on your money for days or even weeks really sucks.
Cm'on man, that's why the bitcoin was invented in the first place, to help out when the fiat system fails us. Hang tight, Bitcoin will soon be everywhere to help our cause.

My bank here is really cool but as the state of affairs stand today we really need to engage in more options where currencies and commerce and savings are concerned..Diversifying assets in different currencies is a MUST nowadays. Holding everything in the banks is not an option anymore.
my banks is also very good, zero fee on everything plus only 1.75 % on conversion rate from other fiat currency, actually i don't have a real bank account, but just their card with a control panel, which require 3 numberous to gain the access
despite this i'm still with bitcoin for numerous thing, like full control over money and fee, like the fact that bitcoin work 24/7 ecc...

I have often been a victim of the banks' nuisance, when I had important work to do and somehow at some phase, had to rely on their assistance for the completion of my transactions or confirm payments, I visit them and they make me stand in line for so long or sometimes even tell me to come back after an hour as they are on their 'lunch break'. FUCKING KIDS, need a recess so bad. Can't hire different people to work while the others have their break, fucking stupid.
Even I have had similar experiences with banks. They had me waiting for two hours once. Also I had been treated not so kindly by the workers there. And after waiting for almost about an hour in line just one person was in front of me when they asked us to come back an hour later because it was their lunch time. I felt devastated. That was the moment I started hating on banks.
Its sad you had such experiences in banks, but the reason banks deserve hate is much more than their rude behavior and unnatural work ethics, its them 'creating and empowering' scams. Its the banksters risking the savings of so many customers and gambling with their money with foreign deals and a major example is the Greece economic fallout.
