what? i can understand that a bank asks some questions if you handle big sums of money or have unusually big transactions that you usually do not have, but this sounds bad. do you have to answer them? i would consider to look for another bank.
 

Yes. If you do not answer and show proof to everything they are asking for, they will put your money on hold for as long as their investigation is running. Funny thing is that I just came from a different bank. I signed up at the bank I am talking about because my previous bank told me to immediately stop using that bank account in combination with Bitcoin. But in general there is not much difference between banks as they are subject to the same laws.

Then you are pretty much screwed up

If you are heavily involved with Bitcoin, you may not be able to cash out your bitcoins and get fiat to make a living. People having thousands of bitcoins and living off them, might really consider the possibility of moving to other countries which are more loyal to Bitcoin in this respect. Though that would create a whole stack of other problems on its own like possible language and cultural barriers, citizenship questions and so on

maybe i misunderstood you the first time, but it sounded like you have to give them all the information before you open the account. at this point i would look for another bank, unless they are all the same. if you already have an account and receive/make a payment and they decide to undertake an investigation, then i guess there is not much you can do. but this is one big reason i love bitcoin and hate banks.

A bitcoin bank with proof of liquidity and no  fractional banking would be great. I bet we see them after the next collapse.

i do not understand what is meant by a bitcoin bank and what is the harm in having one bank for the people that need one.what ever it may be i do expect some sort of banking regulations being introduced for bitcoin by some governments .
A bitcoin bank will not harm us until it will not ask us to produce our transaction details like from where we are getting bitcoins and where we are spending them. We may need a bitcoin bank for buying and selling but once bitcoin hits main stream of adoption then there will not be any need of any such bank.
They will because banks are guided by the laws of the state and no matter what they to comply to avoid penalties. The state wants transaction to be transparent to combat illegal activities and the KYC will apply to all clients of the bank and the AMLC will always be part to monitor suspicious transactions

I don't see how you can come to that conclusion

I don't disagree though that banks will most likely follow the laws applied to them so as to avoid penalties, and they will combat illegal activities as well as supervising bodies will be looking for suspicious transactions if you open an account in such a bank. But no one is compelling you to use these banks to transact with Bitcoin in the first place, so I can't possibly fathom how they could do any harm to those who are opposed to them in particular and Bitcoin on the whole

I think it would not harm anyone, but bitcoin bank will keep your identity as bitcoin users exposed, this was clearly wide of the function bitcoin as a currency that anonymous

Well you are right sort of your identity is exposed but as ive known that bitcoin is not really anonymous that what we have expected because someone could track your transactions but it really takes time but unlike bitcoin bank we all know that, that bitcoin is from that name of person

Yeah indeed this is something we cannot hide. Because in the bitcoin system we can never know anyone who sends or conduct transactions in existing addres unless we can know well them or knows the owner adddres btc it first. In the system because all of the data or its owners bitcoin is anonymous and only a few people could check or keep track of who is doing the transaction and where they came from

When you bring cash to a bank office in order to open a deposit account, do they ask where you got the money from?

Sure they do. I have opened a bank account recently where I had to fill in details as to what my salary is on a monthly basis, what I think I will receive on my bank account from sources other than my job salary on a monthly basis, what my previous monthly saving amounts are, etc. All kinds of annoying questions. I sent a certain amount to this freshly opened bank account from the one I was about to close, and oh man, it took me 2 days to convince them that it was my own money that I have been saving throughout the years. All this because of all the Bitcoin related transactions in my previous bank account.

Things aren't easy nowadays. If you at the time of signing up for a bank account have stated that you expect to receive like €500 per month from different sources (other than from your job), but there are a few months that you receive far more than that, they will contact you where you better have all details they want directly, otherwise it can take days, perhaps weeks before they complete their investigation.

We know that bitcoin are used for illegal activities also, so it's hard to trust our info with banks on that matter and I believe such consolidation will not happen.

I do believe those wich does wanna a bitcoin banks should left bitcoin at once as well crypto world, the most of us are at crypto not only for to make and earn money, but to be free, be able to choose and moove our money anytime, soo you people do wanna to centralize your coins as long the bank gives you some interest, there is no other valid reason to have such interest.

Personally, I think it is only a matter of time till real banks start offering Bitcoin related services (e.g. deposits and loans)

Nah, can't see this being a realistic outcome in the future. Mainly because of the fact that Bitcoin is something banks can't verify the source from. In these times every decent amount of money that people deposit will be subject to a far more drastic protocol. Governments are constantly raising the bar with their ridiculous policies in an attempt to stop money laundering and the financing of terrorist groups.

This argument doesn't hold

When you bring cash to a bank office in order to open a deposit account, do they ask where you got the money from? I guess they don't unless you bring a sack packed with Benjamins. In this way, as long as you provide all necessary details about your identity (which you would have to reveal in any case), there shouldn't be any particular issues with opening a Bitcoin account in a bank. And then you just send bitcoins from your personal wallet to a wallet linked to your account in the bank very much like you make a wire transfer from another bank
At the time when you create your account at the bank they ask for the proof of source of income and after that when you deposit your money they calculate them according to that source and when you have some income to that account something of different value or from a different place rather than expected according to your source of income then they start investigation

And how things would be different in respect to Bitcoin?

That is the way of banks in my country

Obviously, things differ between countries. Once upon a time I was adding something like 12,000 dollars in cash to my bank account directly in the bank office using their ATM. It was around 80 bills of the biggest denomination, and the whole process took some time. I was assisted by an administrator and the room where that ATM was installed had been locked from inside for safety. I felt myself like a millionaire...

And no one asked a thing about where I got this money from

Xapo, Coinbase and Circle, they are all "bitcoin banks", if someone doesn't like them, they don't have to use them...

I'm neutral on this situation, if no one harmed by bitcoin banks so why we shouldn't hate or dislike them instead of many people using their services even exchanges consider as banks as we convert through them and used it. If their services are profitable for us then why not, we use it if good for us and don't if we don't want to, simply like that.
