The United States seized funds my supervisor sent to his friend who mentioned the word "ISIS" in a Venmo transaction. Be careful of your transaction messages.

- loeg 7y agoAnd maybe avoid banking services that are less culpable to their customers than even traditional banks? Paypal, venmo, etc are aggressively customer hostile even compared to the traditional banking sector.
- Jamwinner 7y agoYup. People look at me weird once in a while, but cash always works. No fees. Censorship resistant, close to anonymous, and accepted everywhere, network or not. I can do without yet another app selling my data.
- justinzollars 7y agoI love cash.
- loeg 7y agoCash is fine, too. But really I am just advocating for like, Credit Unions, or even traditional for-profit banks like Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, etc as places for storing your money rather than Paypal or Venmo. Zelle instead of Venmo for quick payments to friends. Credit cards or debit cards or whatever instead of Paypal anything.
