I actually had my account suspended once as I tried to move money to a known Bitcoin exchange. I had to phone them to open the account account. They were trying to tell me how risky Bitcoin was and that they suspended my account for my own protection. Two days earlier, the bank had made headlines for buying $164M of Bitcoin, so I simply asked why they were buying it? They didn't have a good answer, so they released my funds, but still blocked that transaction, so I moved the funds to another account and bought from there πŸ˜‚

I don’t use exchanges anymore because fuck kyc. But I did have an experience like that once and I told them it was for something unrelated to bitcoin. I think it was strike. I told them I was going to send money to someone. The workers are just following a protocol I don’t think they give a shit. But it did piss me off at the time that they could do that with β€œmy money.”
