Does anyone know of a btc friendly bank in the US?
Which bankd aren't friendly to these transactions? Banks make money off of money, why would they restrict an inbound transfer of money to your account? How do they know it's bitcoin related? Why would they care?
If your bank is being an ass this regard, a few options:
(1) get a bitcoin debit card, which will allow you to soend your bitcoin at point of sake or withdraw it slowky via a local ATM. Know thay ATM transactions carry higher fees.
(2) test small withdrawal to your etrade accpunt to see what action (if any) etrade takes.
In the US, transactions over $10,000 require reporting by the bank for the Feds. Keep your transactions below this level and you'll minimize attention. But as i started, what are you really worried about?
