O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love thou dost in us command.
We see thee rising fair, dear land,
The True North, strong and free;
And stand on guard, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee. 🇨🇦
Not your keys, innit
Banks are tightening the noose. Sorry about this man, it sucks
Radicalization intensifies
Never run a bank with positive cash balance solves this.
You probably agreed to some tcs
Fuck that sucks.
No reason given?
They’ve HAD to restrict your account, it’s for your own good
yes
I'm sorry to hear this Utxo. Don't bank with British banks, not even fintechs. Folks are unfortunately getting debanking left and right now. A friend of mine got debanked for buying and selling BTC on a big famous exchange, all KYCed and inside the system. They will likely close your account and ask for another account to deposit your money in 30 days. Let me know if you find an alternative with good FX rates (Revolut comes to mind, but they are also based in the UK).
I wonder if you would have had the same outcome if you only ever kept no more than 5k or 10k in your account at all times?
doubt it makes any difference
We need the AWS version built on Nostr and Bitcoin. @Vitor Pamplona could you build it?
We really need Bitcoin Standard
Did you use it to purchase BTC ?
This is why Bitcoin matters. It’s fucking insane that anyone has the ability to freeze funds of another individual. Absolutely ludicrous.

I was about to get a wise account.
What do you think of dolphin card?
sorry to hear it. no clue what's goin on other than aws. is wise connected to aws? 😔
I wonder which agency flagged the account. Maybe it wasn’t FINTRAC, Canada.
Sorry to see this happen and thanks for sharing. I’ve been thinking more and more about banking risks and stories like these help.
the same thing happened to Steam developers when Paypal froze the payment they were going to receive to pay the bills
"your" CAD is not yours, it is government owned money. They can freeze it and tell Wise to freeze it whenever they see fit.
Sorry dude, that sucks!!
"we needed some time to confirm your business details"
not quite sure what that's supposed to mean but we're back
gonna just go ahead and assume they're retarded instead of some conspiracy

I can't even fathom this amount of money. I'd be out of debt with money left over so i didnt have to work for 6mo....😅💜🫂
you don't like to work eh Tucker?
Only for compensation in an appropriate form.
this barely covers my aws bill for the month lol. business is expensive
10-4
Let’s run on the banks! Who’s in…?
Jesus Christ at some point you should just buy your own data center
stack sats for 12 years and $38k won't seem like such a big numbet
Tried for the last 8. Inflation and emergency expenses ate all my bitcoin around 85k. 🤷
How do we replace AWS? 🤔
not the O/\/ly 1

Sorry buddy. Hope this gets sorted out soon. To bad there isn’t an easy way to run a business on a BTC standard but be able to pay through normal payment rails.
