On the bright side, You bought bitcoins in 2011.

My bank was much more polite, they asked me what I was doing because they had seen a bunch of people transferring to the same offshore account(mtgox). Had to explain what Bitcoin was but then they were fine with it.

I ran a bitcoin price leaderboard website, and my bank sent me a termination letter. Will be interesting to see how they react to this

Was it connected to your bank account in some way?

no! no money exchanges was going through the website. it was my business account however

I am confused. If no money exchange was going through the website then how did they found out that you were running it?

They went through the websites on my portfolio as part of KYC.

Really weird that this is even legal.

My (semi)local credit union, A+FCU [1] threatened to shut mine down because of Coinbase verification deposits in 2017.

[1] Yes, their name has a + in it, I was dumbfounded that the super-conservative banking system allowed that.

> haha jokes on you now JPM!

The joke is very rarely on the banker.
