To the remaining clients banks cut the features and decrease the limits "because of fraudsters and thieves". Just like this, no one says a word.

Since when is Chime a bank since their customer service repeatedly told me in no uncertain terms that they are a "spending account" and absolutely not a bank.
Wingman4l7•55m ago
On their own "About Us" page:

"Chime® is a financial technology company, not a bank." eyeroll

These leeches want all the profits of banking and none of the customer service and regulatory obligations.

New rule: if we ask 100 of your customers if they think you're a bank, and the majority say yes, congratulations, you're now a bank under law, because you sure as hell are pretending to be one.

Banking sucks. It's totally against freedom. Monero is the ideal currency.

There's no politics to who banks censor, it's all "risk management".

Monero is private, secure, and uncensorable. Nobody will ever ask what your using your money for, because they can't.

Cash is king too, but it doesn't work online and there's significant restrictions.

Good luck getting your grocery store to accept Monero though.

300+ supermarkets accept it in Switzerland. It's not like they choose every crypto they want to accept, they just use a payment processor that supports a bunch. I don't see that as particularly hard to implement if there's demand.

Walmart probably won't, considering they don't even accept Apple Pay.
