I work as a customer agent for a regular online bank. Nothing extraordinary, just a traditional bank operating online. Our marketing is pretty flashy, making us look appealing to older folks as if we are some kind of futuristic bank. But we’re not. Recently, we’ve noticed a crazy rise in calls from people asking about crypto. Grandpas are wondering if they can buy Bitcoin through us. Many are sending large sums of money to crypto exchanges and fintech companies. A lot of these transactions get their accounts blocked because they are asked for proof of funds and other information. Some exchanges require customers to get written approvals from our bank for their funds to be accepted, leading to panic among callers who don’t understand what’s happening but desperately want to get involved. This feels like the beginning. I can sense it. People are craving crypto, and soon banks will have to embrace it and provide it to them.
I can’t believe why people keep making the same mistake over and over…
When prices drop, nobody wants to buy and calls it a scam
When prices rise and touch new highs, everyone suddenly wants to buy…and that’s when they shouldn’t.
Then they complain again that it’s a scam while we profit.

If that’s not a typo, that’s the best comment here and made me laugh.
@CryptoCrafter
This phrase about lottery winnings being called ‘wife-changing money’ has been around long before crypto was a thing. It’s not a typo.
@CryptoCrafter
It’s quite common around here.

Yeah, a lot of lonely guys without a girlfriend talking about ‘wife-changing money’ while just dreaming of hiring an expensive stripper.

This comment section isn’t painting a great picture for crypto.
