cash is still king

To the remaining clients banks cut the features and decrease the limits "because of fraudsters and thieves". Just like this, no one says a word.

Since when is Chime a bank since their customer service repeatedly told me in no uncertain terms that they are a "spending account" and absolutely not a bank.

Banking sucks. It's totally against freedom. Monero is the ideal currency. There's no politics to who banks censor, it's all "risk management". Monero is private, secure, and uncensorable. Nobody will ever ask what your using your money for, because they can't. Cash is king too, but it doesn't work online and there's significant restrictions.
