Title: Are any of you debanked? Post by: klaudiado on February 15, 2016, 04:32:36 PM Hey there, I wondered whether any of you are debanked here? Meaning, you ditched the bank and stopped using their services. Cheers
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Eric Cartman on February 15, 2016, 06:28:59 PM It is impossible, without a bank I can't even sell and buy bitcoins, and buy things online would be close to impossible
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Lethn on February 15, 2016, 07:31:40 PM Yeah, it's just not possible yet, I certainly don't keep any money in long term though, the only reason I use banks is if I can't get what I want in Bitcoin or for receiving money from other sources. If Bitcoin were to become much more widespread and you could even pay for utility bills or buy stuff in regular shops with it then I'd dump the banks immediately.
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: asa.convex on February 15, 2016, 09:26:23 PM Unfortunately no. It's not possible in today's modern world.
Maybe in 10-15 years.. Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Cass LeChat on February 16, 2016, 01:02:46 AM Yes, and it's totally possible. Ignore those guys. There is varying degrees of difficulty but there's a whole movement around being "unbanked" Go watch this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTU5M36_zXo
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Morecoin Freeman on February 16, 2016, 02:03:56 AM Fortunately no, I'm not unbanked. I don't see how being unbanked could be something positive in today's world.

That's amazing, looks like a lot of hassle though... Is that how you live as well? Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Gutemberg on February 16, 2016, 11:37:09 AM Hey there, I wondered whether any of you are debanked here? Meaning, you ditched the bank and stopped using their services. Cheers no, for the moment i'm still reliant from the bank and the services, the most i use is for sure credit card, it help me a lot in my daily life Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Zeke2345 on February 16, 2016, 01:47:30 PM I go back and forth about leaving the bank but need a counter to my current investments.
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: bitbunnny on February 16, 2016, 02:11:16 PM I would like that very much but I can't. Because of my paycheck, my mortgage... But would like to hear exeperiences of others, if there is someone who is completely happiliy debanked :)

Post by: cr7 on February 16, 2016, 11:15:30 PM I can't even receive payments without a bank :(
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: klaudiado on February 16, 2016, 11:25:14 PM I can't even receive payments without a bank :( Couldn't your employers pay you by cheque? Just started thinking that it must be a real hassle to stay debanked... I wonder if that girl from the video has really been debanked for 2 years ??? Title: Re: Are any of you debanked?

That's amazing, looks like a lot of hassle though... Is that how you live as well? Since 2009 I've lived 5 years without a bank, 2 years with one, and am currently newly bankless again because of developments in bitcoin technology (Debit cards, etc.) Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Cass LeChat on February 17, 2016, 12:30:27 AM I should point out that I'm an entrepreneur. I organize events, do freelance writing, design games, do sex work, model, organize art projects, etc so being self-employed probably gives me some freedom that other's don't have to decide when I want to use a bank.
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: UliJonHoth on February 17, 2016, 07:42:52 AM I have been for about a year and a half now, there are some headaches and hassles at times but it is well worth it to me.
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: clangtrump on February 17, 2016, 08:12:56 AM I stopped using a bank of some certain because the interest wasnt working and my money had just decreased
Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Hagart on February 17, 2016, 08:37:26 AM Today it is impossible...

Do you receive you salary in cash/cheque or bitcoin then? Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Zeke2345 on February 17, 2016, 06:53:39 PM Its possible but restrains you to a life where you may need to make extra jumps to get from a to b.
Most people that claim to be doing this are usually living on a hand to mouth more than planning for the future. Otherwise they would realize they have nothing saved making interest for retirement. Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: phibay on February 17, 2016, 06:59:22 PM I can't relate, I never had a bank account since birth, believe it or not. My bitcoin wallet was my first (and probably the last) bank

No, this guy isn't a position to comment on other people's experiences, especially as the post right above mine laid out that banking is much more of a focus in developed countries. There are lots of ways to hold wealth without a bank. It's training that has made folks close-minded and unaware of what that looks like. Title: Re: Are any of you debanked?

Jump past the posts stating it is impossible and quote mine that states it is trickier. You try to hard and it just shows you are a train wreck waiting to happen. You can only use a body as currency for so long,so I hope you have found a way to invest for the future. Judging by the thread you started people have a hard time figuring out if you are a man or a female. Nothing wrong with that unless you use ones self mainly as a object for people to get off on. The person you quote is also in a third world Country where it is more normal to live a life without a bank. Since bitcoin is mostly used In Europe and North America I stick to the context for the majority of people. You like to go fishing down the gutter to make a point,but it is what it is. Title: Re: Are any of you debanked? Post by: Morecoin Freeman on February 17, 2016, 07:49:29 PM Call me closed-minded but to me being unbanked equals being poor.

Like dude, whatever your problem is - whether it's my work, sexuality, how I talk, my gender, all this energy you're putting into me and my behaviour is fucking gross. You act as if it some righteously holy mission to stalk women around these boards and harass them. Seriously. Who raised you? I'd be flattered if it wasn't such a fucked up pattern with you boys.

Bitcoin! You are in a bitcoin forum and the masses of people that use it are from these two areas. Nothing to do with where the majority of people are from. If you want to stretch the context by all means but maybe check to see if you have the point correct. You post I respond,nature of a forum. Title: Re: Are any of you debanked?

Feel free to continue obsessing on your own though. xo You have made it very clear you wanted to be praised by starting a thread with photos. Pretty sure 99.5% of the forum has not done this,so it does make one question. Also highly involved in threads about sex work or reference it a lot,so again I can only go off what you bring up. What you do is none of my business but if you put it out there like you do,prepare for some honesty. Title: Re: Are any of you debanked?

Also, I just bought this book by Simon Dixon. http://www.amazon.com/Bank-Future-Protect-before-Governments/dp/1907720375 It's not exactly on being "unbanked" but I heard him on an interview a while ago and he was pretty good at breaking down some things about banking and seems investing teaching folks other ways to go about it.
