Today, my bank suddenly blocked BTC purchases. They cancelled my cards and locked my account.

I've had the same bank forever, and have regularly made BTC purchases over a period of 2 years with no problems. Then suddenly today when I tried to buy some more sats, they just straight up cancelled my cards and blocked my account with no warning. I have no cash and it's friday, so I'm basically fucked until at least monday, as they said it would take a couple working days to resolve the issue or whatever.

This is bullshit. I've seen a lot of posts saying shit like this, but I never had any trouble. I'm pissed.

Edit:

forgot to say which bank. It's Danske Bank (Danish Bank), I live in Norway

And I'm talking about debit card. Never had a credit card in my life

Danske Bank even stated last year that they won't stop users from investing in crypto.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
