I loved the idea of having some funds completely "out of the system". "Unfortunately", Bitcoin has become so successful that its has a lot of probabilities of becoming also "part of the system". That's good and bad at the same time. As I said, it's "complex".
Go overseas for a holiday and while you are there open a bank account. I have bank accounts around the world. I don't have that much "surplus" cash to really need that. Otherwise I would have opened a bank account in Gibraltar as some people I know have. I would like to open a USA account (for my crypto dealings) and I use to go to Las Vegas every once in a while but I don't think it is so easy, is it?? I get 2 or 3 offers a month offering to pay me $200-300 just to open an account. BTW mine just ripped me off about $450, I got $60 back today and have to waste my time again tomorrow to sort out the rest, the fuckers.

I think it's safe to assume that some banks do keep scans. It's been ages since I opened an account, but I'm pretty sure they made photocopies of my ID.
All banks do that. Have oppened accounts 3 weeks ago and you better believe they kept everything... IDs, invoices, proofs of housing... I just showed an ID about a year ago when opening an account and they didn't copy it as far as I can remember. Actually I have opened 2 in the last couple of years and didn't do anything but show my ID. I dunno, maybe they copied my license I seriously can't remember but I do know that is all I provided.

I did it in 20 minutes. Just walked into a branch and told them I was moving to the US and buying a house and needed a bank account and could they please give me some information on their mortgage packages.
You don’t need much cash in the account - just above the minimum to hold it open. Think of it as an open escape hatch.
Let's talk theoretically... If I went there for a holiday and withdrew a couple tens of thousands from a (several) crypto ATM... could I just walk into a bank branch with my spanish TOURIST passport, open an account, deposit the cash and control it remotely via online banking? Not Spanish but that’s exactly what I do. Don’t be my wife and forget your password. If one bank doesn’t let you, try another.

But now I am scared they would just let me open the account, deposit the money and just fucking lock my account and my money sometime later. I know I can deal with banks by staying perfectly clean but... in that case.... don't know, probably too risky. Yeah, I am a pussy when it comes to money.

Whose statistical methods were quite airy-fairy
With that appropriate introduction, I would like to welcome our new friend. The 100 month moving average, sitting at the extraordinary value of $1,623. I wish I believed in this shit.

HAHA. That’s why you don’t put a lot in there. Just enough to hold it open without fees.
Then if shit hits the fan, wire funds and get on a plane, withdraw it at the other end in cash and disappear. It should work as long as you have a 48 hour head start.
Then you are on the other side of the planet, flush with fiat and have your bitcoin as back up.

Lebowski fans? Dude. I'm so pumped for this, I just had to take a photo of my favorite sweater. I hope I don't regret posting this photo. I love everything about this photo. Now what the fuck unique thing could you be hiding on your rims or is it fear of the reflection? I for one like to think it's spoke rims with a playing card that hit and make a nice little noise going down the road. I honestly hope it is to disguise this characteristic feature of the car:

If they wanted to keep tomato pickers out, they would make it illegal for US farmers to hire illegal immigrants and enforce it. Problem instantly solved.

O.k. Fair enough. Don't ask. I like the article, but it does not say when taproot is supposedly coming. Tomorrow? 6 months? next year? 10 years?
