The hypocrisy of banks blocking crypto transactions is bugging me even more today

Last night I watched a really interesting and pretty scary documentary about an ex-professional football player (Paul Merson) who’s struggled with a gambling addiction most of his life. There was a part in the show where someone was going through some bank statements of another addict, and there was like 7 or 8 deposits to an online betting company in a day, A DAY!

Yet here we are, getting messages from our banks saying we cant deposit into Binance/coinbase etc for our own protection. Strange how people with obvious addictions can feed a betting company as much money as they can get their hands on, but someone wanting to try and make a better future for themselves needs ‘protecting’?

Here is the documentary for those who are interesting and can view it – https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010l43/paul-merson-football-gambling-me

Ok rant over
