Banks closing accounts of legitimate, registered Canadian bitcoin dealers.

From comments:

Just one more reason to boycott RBC (as if you needed one) ... that is if you haven't already closed any accounts there after the recent employees-forced-to-train-their-foreign-worker-replacement debacle.

TD now running scared too? Remember when they closed all of the accounts of honest law-abiding Iranian-canadians - just because they were Iranian? Well they just lost my remaining business too.

Bitcoin is obviously here to stay. The banks are just going to have to 'get over it'

Vote with your feet: Close any accounts/asset holdings with RBC and TD - and most importantly - tell them why!

Slight correctiion to that "$15M/day" statistic.  From the comments:

It's 15m$ total, average of 100k$ daily and all time high volume of 400k$ 2 weeks ago.

I'll give a +1 on this:

Too bad that we didn't have Bitcoin in Fallout . Somebody should mod it and add it

Btw I liked this one:

That seems to be the mindset among Bitcoin professionals — press on at all costs, because Bitcoin is only going to get bigger.

No wonder considering how many people PayPal and banks pi$$ed off over the years.

"You have have $150 million worth of Bitcoins being transacted every 24 hours," David said. "It's not a fad."

$150 mil daily is not bad

150million per day and it is growing! A fad? lol

Somone really should do this with Fallout Online 2238 mod.

Just imagine Fallout MMO with bitcoin as in-game currency.
