US Bank account = FREEDOM ? Really ? I have 5 US bank accounts and it didn't provide me any more freedom than having cash under my mattress. Having US Bank accounts just opens you up to being better tracked by the government. You might want to change your answer.
that was just a short answer. I can justify it explaining you my own reality but I don't want to deviate from the main topic. My ultimate goal is FREEDOM yes, and having a US bank account is on the path of where I'm going. Also, I don't need to hide myself from anybody so I don't care about "being tracked by the government". In fact, having a bank account is not a desire is a necessity (at least for me).. unfortunately, they are a necessary evil.. until Bitcoin grows and develops to the point of absorbing the whole monetary system we cannot go without the bank services.
Yes many companies and individuals use CMRA but your initial post said you are not interested in mail forwarding services, which is exactly what a CMRA is.
In fact there are 2 kinds of forwarding companies: those who gives you a street address and allows you to use it for billing purposes, and those who don't. The first are called CMRA's, the second are called forwarding companies.
Having a reliable US address is the most important piece of the puzzle. I must confess that I'm quite concern about reliability of some services.. I don't want be a victim of identity theft !. I need to provide them my personal documentations and details. I must confess this scares me a lot.
However, I don't know another way out. I really need my bank account, so I'm going to take that risk and signup with a CMRA if I don't have another choice.
Right now I'm reviewing 27 selected companies in several states.. this is an exhaustive task.
--> It would be helpful if someone can recommend a trusted service, any tips are welcome.
