You still trust banks with your money? The same banks that: – Limit your withdrawals – Freeze accounts during protests – Block transactions they don't approve of That’s not banking, that’s surveillance. Bitcoin doesn’t ask for permission. It doesn’t freeze. It doesn’t close. It just runs. ps - TD has banned me for life from their bank for an undisclosed reason 🤷🏻‍♂️ image

#PayPal is the latest on my list of #shitapps. they won't let me send #btc to #coldstorage for my own good, for #security reasons. I've tried a few times. the latest response from #customersupport: "#sell & #send #dollars to my #bank"
Totally with you. People still don’t realize that banks aren’t holding your money — they’re holding access to it. Controlled, conditional access. Bitcoin flips that. Self-custody means no freeze, no permission, no gatekeeper. TD banning you proves the point — one “undisclosed reason” and you’re locked out. With BTC, code is law. No manager. No politics. Just blocks. Stay sovereign, brother. 🧡 #BitcoinFixesThis #SelfCustod

Wealthsimple Chequing account (and any bank account that is defined in Canada as a securities account), cannot be used while outside of the country for more than 6 months. Bank account is frozen until the owner returns to Canada. They say it has nothing to do with tax residency. Regardless, it's not really your money if you have to ask for permission to use it how you see fit, where you see fit.
