I know you'll not see my post, so your loss. in Greece was because of the ongoing financial crisis, in my country banks are good and reliable but it's the international banking system which really sucks, they will do whatever US treasury tell them to do.
In my country you get to send money instantly for 10 cents and zero fees when you are spending and shopping.
It must really suck to be you with your shity banking system.

I totally hate having bank accounts when bitcoin was introduced to me and when I learned how to manage bitcoin in life.
I hate that bank is really controlling our money inspite of the fact that it is centralized, it is govern by government and can control the money that you can only have, which in bitcoin is not, because in bitcoin you can truly put good and high amount or value of bitcoin as long as you can.

I hate the fact they add fees on everything.

Where do you bank? Where I'm at in the UK banking is free and near instant transfers are free too. Elsewhere in the EU you can do intra EU transfers that are almost as fast that cost very little.
Indeed banks are stealth in nature and they so easily add all manners of fees and many of them remain hidden until you make time to scrutinize your bank statement. They are only ready to favor established businesses, startups are usually shown piles of papers and conditions that spells tall order.
The fact is that people themselves have practically created a myth of evil around banks. The fact is that the people themselves are to blame, where they go to the bank. Of course, the banking system, together with the states, makes such circumstances when people are forced to follow you at the bank. But nevertheless, a person has a choice How to use banking services.

Well banks are too centralized that they limit access to my own money through long lists of policies which are intended to shield them up in order to invest my money for profit while I wait for a particular time before I can withdraw.
Yeah the centralized functioning with lots of procedures need to be followed for a simple withdrawal or a transaction. Another thing what every user should accept I that without banks we could have never got such a systematic financial structure. Also now too without banks the usage of bitcoin could be low, so banks are essential but the unwanted service charges make me dislike banks.

We dont need banks that why we choose yo have bitcoins. If the OP idea is to have bitcoin bank all controlled by govt. , then there is no point of having a de-centralized system of bitcoins.

Indeed though that would be a possibility once governments adopt and take control of btc. It's good enough already as it is today. We really have no choice with banks as they can pretty much control how the market moves. If you don't trust banks, keep a safe in your house or put everything in online wallets or investments

Firsty, them deciding what is suspicious and not suspicious

Not everybody is an employee working for someone. Some people are entrepreneurs, and as an entrepreneur, you can have some HUGE days. I don't need a bank telling me that my successful day where i made $20k+ is suspicious if I want to withdraw all of it. (people have been arrested for making large withdraws before).

Also, banks freely allowing their customers to scam business (via chargeback). Instead of blindly chargingback purchases and screwing over merchants, visa applicants should be required to take a course outlining the risks of credit cards, and Visa should do proper investigations when a chargeback is brought up.

If a tracking number and proof of delivery can be proved, why should the customer be given their money back?

ALSO, i recently looked into banking investment options. It comes across as a way to just make more money off customers. Think of it like this. It's like it's just them taking your money so they can invest it in polyniex. I only tried it out cause my family (who doesn't know about bitcoins) encouraged it.

Do you have any gripes about banks

There is always some risk with banks and with fiat currencies in general. Also, most government currencies are inflationary and interest on a bank account may not keep up with inflation.

The bank didn t give me a privacy to control my money. The financial regulation make a partnership with the bank to monitoring the bank account of customers. So they are able to see all of transaction histroy. Just like intervention

I'm that person who does not care much about privacy. If the bank knows what I'm buying, what bills I pay, so what? What are they gonna do? Laugh at me? I don't care if they sell that information either.

The only thing I'm concerned about is if the bank goes bankrupt, then I'm screwed. Just as screwed if I put all my money into bitcoin, and the Bitcoin crashes.

I really don't like banks because they will use your savings to other forms of business.
Such as loaning or lend it to others with interest, but you cannot get any share  for it. Which means, you cannot control your own savings and worst before you withdraw your own money it needs lots of documentation
before you get it. Sad

If we choose deposits because there is a provision of the time taken when in the middle of our journey saving sometimes we need a sudden need but the money we save in the bank can not be taken.
Especially from the interest that we get from the bank is almost the same as the interest pieces each month.

The whole process of banking was useful for a time. When it was based on gold it was the best thing we had going. Gold is used in a lot of electronic parts and many people desired gold.

Now that isn't the case and we have banks basing their loans off of holding 10% total USD. So you deposit 1,000 in and they loan out 10,000. It creates more and more supply of money which in the end devalues our currency. It is all a scam. If everyone wanted to withdraw their money right now banks would fail.

They can charge you to give you your own money. They can refuse to give you your own money. In a bank run they can be unable to give you your own money.  If you want to borrow, the rate is very high, whereas if you want to save you get nothing.

Those are the gripes I could think up off the top of my head, there are definitely more. Oh yeah, foreign currency exchange rates. In Germany, the clearing times for transfers can be 2 days too.  Lots of things not to like.

Well right now lots of exchanges are acting a bit like that...

Obviously I hate banks otherwise I wouldn't be in BTC
But the problem is that exchange platforms are applying the same rules to their customers!
Everyone is applying KYC policies... That's destroying the concept of crypto...
may be some exchanges have the same strategy bout, most of the exchanges are free from such thoughts. i think they are not applying such policy for example i am using yobit, who do not have any of such such policy. i personally feeling free while using youbit exchange for different activities. i can deposit and withdraw, i can also buy different crypto currencies so easily.

When you put your money in the bank, the bank has the power to control your money, if he thinks you are doing suspicious things then your account can be frozen, so I dont have total control of my money when I put my money in the bank and every of my transaction is recorded, I dont feel too comfortable with my transaction movement keep being watched
Yeah right, if we put all our money into the bank it means we must be willing if all our money is managed by the bank. We can not have full control over the money we have. There are also many administrative costs are quite expensive in my opinion, I do not like this because the money saved will continue to decrease.

Yes correct.  It seems like our money is secured to them having advertisements that it is good to put our money in the bank and have these priviliges and that our money is safe but the truth is, they are the one who robbed us.  They loan our money on big interest but give us a little interest with tax.  It still nice to do some investing and have a mutual fund than putting money in the bank.
That's right, the big interest that the bank offers is strangling people / customers who want to borrow money. For example if someone borrowed $ 100,000 it could be $ 109,000 or even doubled and this happened to some of my friends. I agree with you better to invest from the beginning rather than having to save money in the bank, the investment will grow the money well. But anyway this kind of banking system has existed for a long time and is inherent with society, although it is harmful but people keep doing because this maybe their need. I hope in the future this system will be replaced with a better one.

Limitation status is disgusting. Banking can limit your CC or account so you can't withdraw your money. Let's talk a bank like. That is paypal. I had experience being limit. My account was limited so I can' do anything with my money. I can't shop, withdraw to cash. I had to clarify so that my account to stop the limit. And it is not entertaining work. It took me a lot of time.

The same situation was in Ukraine few years ago. When some problems starts in countries economy, first of all government forbid to withdraw deposits from banks. Horrible situation. It`s my money, i count on them, who has the right to tell me what to do with my deposit? That`s why decentralized currencies is better and safer.

Banks are acting like a dictator for our wealth. We work hard and we save money. But banks take any advantage they prefer over to my savings. This is the problems I do face with my banking system as per my country. The only better thing I can say about banking system is their loan facility and interest paying plans. But there are possible with bitcoins and interests are not bothered when we could make enough income for living.

I am sure bitcoin will end the dominance of our traditional banks and might lead us toward a revolutionary self-banking through decentralized concepts.
