    Just got a wire transfer of $200,000 from bitstamp for some of my bitcoins

    bank teller asked me who the hell sent me $200,000 from slovenia

    I started telling her that I had received an email from a fairly high ranking member of the USSR politburo who was asking for assistance in retrieving proceeds of underhanded Jewish dealings from the fall of the soviet union.

    she looked faintly horrified.

    I then told her that I was joking and that it was proceeds of sales of a made up internet currency called bitcoins, and that it would likely eventually spell the end of the banking system as we know it. And with that, I left.

        Some of it. I just want enough money to buy a little apartment if it all craps out. I'm not selling any more for less than $1k each.

        In today's bitcoin news, obama asked google CEO eric schmidt whether bitcoin is "anything to worry about", while 5 bitcoin ATMs were installed in canada

          Nice! I just wish I bought a bunch a long time ago when I saw it around $3 instead of making fun of it..

              You do realize that until the WORLD BANKING SYSTEM officially recognizes bitcoins as currency, you're playing with fire right? All you need is a room full of bankers or international finance and/or governments to declare it's not a currency, make it illegal, and it's use money laundering then it's game over.

                I don't think that would make it game over at this point... I think it's got legs at this point.

                    Until the federal government(s) or international banking system sign off on it, than it's a risk.

                    Legs? Sure. But that's not enough based on the way the current system is structured.

                            I have a better idea. Put my money in that little envelope and focus on the hard things of your job....like trying to figure out what flavor dum dum pop I want with my money..

                                      Not really. In sixth grade when they pull all the boys out in health class to watch "the movie", they should just hand you a pamphlet that says "The only time women quit talking is when you put a cock or food in their mouth." Even then, they manage to still talk and say shit like "It's too big" or "I can't breathe"...

                                          I sold out too, hoping it'll have a mini-crash so i can buy back

                                          I want to be involved when it hits $1k/each. China, Canada and lots of other countries are joining in on giving BTC some lovin', not sure why so many people think/say USA banks/gov can stop BTC from being worth anything

                                          ...remember guys, USA is a country, it's not the world

In sixth grade when they pull all the boys out in health class to watch "the movie", they should just hand you a pamphlet that says "The only time women quit talking is when you put a cock or food in their mouth." Even then, they manage to still talk and say shit like "It's too big" or "I can't breathe"...
                                                  Well, you recommend treating a teller like shit, telling her to mind her own business then saying it's "dumb bitches" like her that will probably fill out a suspicious activity report.

                                                  Treat someone like shit while they are just doing their job and yea reports will get filed. Cause and effect.

                                                  Based on your above post I have to ask, are you related to Mr Maxwell?

                                                    ...remember guys, USA is a country, it's not the world
                                                    The USA controls (strong arms) almost the entire banking world. As BTC gets regulated, it will have to fall under whatever rules set by the USA and anyone else who wants to chip in. It is up to the powers that be to decide if BTC survives or not. I have BTC and accept them as payment for some of our sites, so I'm not a BTC hater, but that is the reality of the situation. Unfortunately, the USA carries a big bully stick.

                                                            I guessed you missed the point. Tellers asking you about your business on how you make your money isn't their job. She's choosing to let her personal curiousity interfere with her job. Their only job is to process your transaction. You don't have to explain shit to a bank teller. If there is an issue on the validity of your transaction, its the bank managers job. Even then, its only their job to inquire about the validity of the funds available for the incoming transaction. Not to inquire about how you make your money or the reasons why you are receiving your money.

                                                            There is nothing rude about telling somebody to mind their own business and that your private matters are none of their business. What is rude is thinking that your job entitles you to be nosey into your customers banking affairs, just because you facilitate their money movement.

Being rude and short with someone who can make your life miserable by instigating a suspicious activity report is just plain stupid. Be polite, bite your tongue, take your business elsewhere next time is the only way to handle that situation. You would be surprised the shit storm one little teller can make. Especially with a 6 figure check from a foreign country.

She's choosing to let her personal curiousity interfere with her job. Their only job is to process your transaction. You don't have to explain shit to a bank teller. If there is an issue on the validity of your transaction, its the bank managers job. Even then, its only their job to inquire about the validity of the funds available for the incoming transaction. Not to inquire about how you make your money or the reasons why you are receiving your money.

                                                                        There is nothing rude about telling somebody to mind their own business and that your private matters are none of their business. What is rude is thinking that your job entitles you to be nosey into your customers banking affairs, just because you facilitate their money movement.

Being rude and short with someone who can make your life miserable by instigating a suspicious activity report is just plain stupid. Be polite, bite your tongue, take your business elsewhere next time is the only way to handle that situation. You would be surprised the shit storm one little teller can make. Especially with a 6 figure check from a foreign country.

Everybody thinks everybody else's business is their own. You've got a whole generation of young people who think they are entitled to everything and run their mouth about what everybody else is doing on Facebook because nobody ever put them in their place or taught them manners.

                                                                                I was raised not to pry into peoples personal affairs. If they want you to know something, they will tell you. I raise my son the same way. Keep what you want to yourself. You're not under any obligation to tell anybody anything you don't want them to know. People will try to pump as much information out of you as possible if you let them and for the most part they do it to use it against you...

And with that, I left.

It's my choice, not theirs. There is a difference and most people aren't smart enough to understand that and apply it to their life because they are loose lipped. They feel they need to impress people with their deeds or what they do or have done. Whether its money, sex, ...or whatever other type of conquests you think you have achieved.

                                                                                                  All I can say is that philosophy has served me well over the years. Especially being in this business. I actually had a teller at my CU years ago take issue with a Verotel check because it was out of the Netherlands. I know the bank manager. My Dad worked for the company. When she came over and said it was fine, the girl said "How come you get checks from all over the country and world?". I replied to her looking at the bank manager in dissaproval, "Is there some reason you need to know that?"

                                                                                                  Never had another issue there or a check questioned since.....

                                                                                                    this really makes your story a lot different. I generally agree with what you're saying, but bank starts asking questions like this, you deal with the questions.

                                                                                                    claiming that you are 'tight lipped', while your family seems to know the 'banking family', isn't a comparable thing
