Just got back from the bank, sending a wire transfer, un bitcoin related. What a load of crap.
After organizing all the necessary information, driving to the bank, 20 more minutes with the teller, meanwhile, I had to listen to her tell me about a new package for easier money transfer by telephone with the bank bla bla bla, I got a terrible exchange rate, a $25 fee for the service, then they ask me "what is this money being used for?" It just slipped out.... "Tell them its none of their fu@king business and I'll do whatever the I want with it.
"Sorry, Its western union rules, we need to put a reason for the transfer. Your transfer should complete in 3-5 business days, if not we'll call you".
I did take the opportunity to mention that it was dinosaur tech and how bitcoin will probably devour it.
Anyway exciting times watching it happen.
yeah, I have had that experience, absolute fucking horseshit, just infuriating
can't wait till these parasites are extinguished
