What I don't understand is how to avoid banks here for a sizeable amount of money.
Any particular reason to avoid them? Cash is pretty much impossible these days for large amounts unless you want to end up like Pablo Escobar with rotting houses built with bricks of cash.
I would definitely prefer to avoid banks but only because of the risk of money getting frozen, but the chances of that are higher with exchanges.
Any money that enters my bank will go straight into Ostrich farms. Guaranteed riches.
No, I don't have any reasons, I thought that you did, that's why I was asking:
Very, very little will go into any form of bank.
Or maybe you meant that you would be directly spending it all?
While it is always good to have some good chunk of cash on hand I will have to store most of it in banks, like it or not. That's how life is nowadays.
