It makes sense. If they are going to freeze your account anyway, without a warrant, of course you would take all the money you can out. That not only includes truckers, but everyone who donated. But the question is what happens if everyone who supports the truckers does it at the same time. Or even more broadly those who want to protest arbitrary freezing of assets of with no judicial oversight. Or those who are opposed to mandates. Or those who just want to fuck with Trudeau. Or people who want to protest a financial system that allows for this.
So that makes the next attack obvious. Run on the bank. Tell everyone that is the new thing. It's more likely to happen if people hear it more than once from more than one source. You heard it from me. Now it's time to pass it on.
If anything I'm late to the party in reminding you. They've already started to do it. Just a reminder that if you are Canadian, you probably want to pull your money out.
Also, they've slowly started to use the word seize instead of the word freeze.
Also, if you run a business in Canada start asking customers to pay in cash or charge a small fee for card use so those people also pull out their cash.
Makes sense.
Banks haven't deserved or done anything to justify their use (remember interest?) for a LONG time.
It is long overdue that we punish them for that. A fool and his money are soon parted - let's show them just how true that aphorism is.
It does nothing but harm you unless you immediately convert it all to gold or silver.
Or Bitcoin? :P
which is why the banks just stop supporting transactions to major crypto exchanges at will
That's why there's P2P exchanges, like Bisq. You just send your fiat directly to some selling person, your bank does not know for what.
And clean exchange is motivated by security deposits for BOTH sides, without trusted third party.
It's more like exchanging software rather then exchange per se.
