If I were the conspiracy theorist type, I'd say there's definitely something up with the whole digital or cryptocurrency market and movement. What I mean is, no one's making it easy to purchase a few coins, at least not the banks, yet digital currency markets are pretty big time and appear to be getting bigger. It's almost as if 'they' or the 'banking' system know it's going to get bigger yet, and their natural instinct is GREED. Or, maybe it's something else.
Just a bit suspicious though. With the banks doing millions, even billions in quarterly profits, and that's not enough. How much is enough? It makes me wonder what, if anything would satisfy them. But worse, why don't the people revolt? Why do we accept governments that don't update/upgrade this archaic system. It doesn't have to be drastic. They just have to start spending responsibly, quit blowing everything and then raise our taxes to cover their foolishness.
Back to just trying to buy a few coins. I only want to make a small investment. Or, what I think is a small investment. But, no one's making it easy. The banks have blocked the purchase of buying any coins with credit cards, and I have to divulge my entire life history to get registered with an exchange or brokerage that trades in digital. Not to mention, they want a self picture, holding a signed note stating that I'm only buying cryptocurrency for myself. My bigger concern is providing my personal documents to someone in a different city. Are they even honest?
Anyway, it seems like something big could pop in the upcoming months with the digital currencies, and it seems the banks want in on it, but aren't making it easy for just anyone to get in.
