Happy to see my bank on that list.
- uptownJimmy 3y agoAgreed. It's handy to have a list of banks I can trust to not do anything stupid with the money.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> It's handy to have a list of banks I can trust to not do anything stupid with the money. That would be a list of banks that never - auth funds to dodgy looking overseas entities but will still lock your card for getting gas 4 counties away. A list of banks that never did that would be meaningfully helpful. Alas, no helpful lists.
- fastball 3y agoI'm fairly certain banks were doing stupid stuff with your money long before Bitcoin was invented...
- yreg 3y agoYou need your bank to allow you what you can do with your money?
- brvsft 3y agoThis is quite clearly a list of banks that will prevent you from doing one stupid thing with your money, but will not prevent you from doing many other stupid things with your money.
- WinstonSmith84 3y agoEither you've a very short term memory or you are just very ignorant of what banks do with your money.

- frereubu 3y agoWould be funny to see someone fork this and just change "blacklist" to "whitelist".
- block_dagger 3y agoOr denylist/allowlist to abandon that outdated language.
- djbusby 3y agoI use permit/reject since they have the same number of letters - lines up nice.
- ForkMeOnTinder 3y agoI've seen block/allow used. Same number of letters as black/white.
- poszlem 3y agoWhich (the outdated language) is the language that 99% of the english speaking world still use and which was fine until 5 minutes ago.
- anonym29 3y agoDid you just match the order of the previous poster, associating the word "deny" with a prefix that has been used to harass and marginalize society's most vulnerable for hundreds of years? How dare you?
- frizlab 3y agoOr keep blacklist/whitelist since it comes from black and white which are colors and have nothing to do with race. Rewriting etymology makes no sense IMHO. I kind of understand wanting to get rid of slave/master (though I’m not for it either, after all it is slaves and master when used in IT; we should not be afraid of words, but that’s another rant), but for black and white list it makes no sense to want to get rid of it AFAICT, apart from definitely saying black and white persons are indeed different. When using stupid rules to rule the words, we get stupid things, like people wanting to change the word history to his or herstory. Yes, seriously. We have to stop.
- donatj 3y agoWhy do you want your bank telling you what you can do with your own money? If you don't want to buy crypto, don't? I don't need a middle man for that.
- frereubu 3y agoNot OP, but I imagine they want their bank to agree with their viewpoint on crypto, and stop other customers creating risks by association.
- jabl 3y agoBanks already do a lot of stuff to prevent their customers from being scammed, or engaging in criminal activities like drug dealing or money laundering. Since this is pretty much what crypto currencies seem to be used for, this is just another thing on that list of shady activities.
- anonym29 3y agoHey, don't diss cryptocurrencies like that! They're not only good for pedestrian crimes like drug dealing and money laundering, cryptocurrency is the the currency of choice for the sophisticated criminal - the ransomware operator, the tax dodger, and the sanctions evader love it!
- anonzzzies 3y agoThis has nothing to do with protecting customers from scams but everything with US pushed extreme AML policies and laws. The banks have to show the money trail and they worry the can’t with crypto so they just block it so they can tick regulatory boxes while shitting all over their customers. It’s very much not a good thing or because of you, the dear client. No one cares until their account gets randomly closed without recourse.
- polygamous_bat 3y ago> If you don't want to buy crypto, don't? I don't need a middle man for that. I already don’t! But I also want my parents to be safe from the modern day equivalent of tech support scam, and good to see that some banks are being proactive about it.
- phpisthebest 3y agoI look forward to your post about how your bank randomly closed your account with no recourse based on a risk profile they do not have to tell you about that is what banks like the ones on this list do
- WinstonSmith84 3y agoRight, and he may be happy about it. Some people just suffers of the Stockholm Syndrom.
