Ok. So I'm about to preach to the choir here, since most of you on here are already anti-establishment, anti-elite nutcases :)
I know it, you know it, most people kind of feel it, even if they don't want to admit it - that when it comes to issues of money and the global financial system, they're powerless and totally outclassed by the top 1%.
So here we are, I'm going to say it.
The system is rigged!
This is just one of the examples that have affected me directly lately - there are several. This has annoyed me a little in the past couple of days.
We've had a bit of a crypto nosedive, including here on Steem, so yours truly was trying to capitalise by "buying the dip".
A couple of months a go, I set up three different fiat-to-crypto pipelines to get funds in and out relatively quickly and efficiently. I made sure all the required KYC was done, and there would be next to nothing to get in my way when the time did come.
Well, the time came yesterday. I tried to get some fiat into crypto because I was feeling quite confident that we would see a mini pump by Christmas. Guess what? Yep, you got it.
One after the other, new obstacles had been inserted into my pipelines to slow down or stop the movement of money to crypto entirely. The aim I think is to frustrate me to the point where I just give up.
Some of my KYC had apparently 'failed'. Bank accounts had changed. Company names had changed. New volume limits had been implemented. Daily allowances, blah blah blah.
Oh yeah, in case that email went to your spam folder, we have new fees for smaller trades now, and we need to hold your deposits for five business days or more, depending. Sorry if that's all the cash you've got.
Ok. So lets try these (apparently) disruptive app methods then. Those apps that claimed to bypass the establishment. Revolut, Wirex and what not.
Hey look! New app required! Password expired. Oops, sorry your phone needs a new OS before you can use the new app. Oooooops, your account needs to be verified again. Ah, you need to login on a computer. Ah. Sorry, now you need to confirm your debit card by waiting for a statement to arrive that will include the 4 digit code to type in. Woopsie. Sorry.
Meanwhile the crypto I was eyeing is already up 10%. Steem is up 7%!
What do you imagine a multi billionaire's experience would be like in contrast to mine?
Agent: "Sir, we've manipulated the crypto price to the desired point, shall we buy?"
Billionaire: "yes"
Agent: click. click. "Done. I will dump when your profit reaches $10 million. Enjoy your golfing holiday sir, hope the weather is great in the Bahamas".
Sucks to be the little guy eh?
Is this all happening in my head or are other people having issues too?
Peace and Love ✌🏿
