2,300 years ago, the philosopher Diogenes walked through Athens with a lantern in broad daylight. When people asked why, he said: “I’m looking for an honest man.” Today, we’re all carrying that same lantern – but we’re looking for honest money.
My Banking Horror Story
Last year, I tried to buy $100 of Bitcoin. Here’s what happened:
- The Interrogation
Bank Manager: “Why send money overseas?”
Me: “It’s for… digital gold?”
<They froze my account> - The Wait
- Bank processing: 3 business days
- Bitcoin price movement in that time: +18%
<I lost money before I even started>
- The Fees
- $25 wire fee on $100 transfer
- That’s 25% gone immediately
This is why Diogenes would hate modern banks.
