Loved diving deep into the psychology of money with @BitcoinArchive 🔥 Thank you Archie for having me. Meeting you in person after watching you interview legends was surreal 👐

In this episode, we covered how the fiat system exactly mirrors an abusive relationship and how deeply the abuse is normalised 🤨

The Psychology Of Financial Freedom with Psychotherapist Helena Andrejko @MindTheBlock21

Drawing on trauma psychology, monetary systems can mirror abusive relationships, conditioning people to accept surveillance, and financial insecurity as normal.

Helena absolutely nailed the comparison in a way I had not considered before.

@Vi3ioN_BTC @Westpac Thank you. I am okayish - not okay completely as they still block my outgoing transaction to a new bank account I set up with a different bank. Now they treat everything as a sus activity. Hard to exit.

This is an update on the @westpac frozen bank account.

First of all - Thank you everyone for your support 🙏

I just got my bank account reinstated - after hours on the phone waiting for someone to speak to, while listening to 'I would fly you to the moon and back' and many other uplifting songs, finally I succeeded in getting access to my money.

This whole freeze lasted less than 48 hours but even if it may not sound like a long period, they were stressful hours 😶

What probably helped to get my bank account back was telling them I won't be able buy my medication in a few days if this continues, which is true.

I was warned - no more transfers to buy even one satoshi.

In the last few days, I was flown to the moon and back - thank you @westpac. It was eventful. My heart goes to everyone who is trying to find ways to preserve the worth of the currency. The legacy institutions are doing everything they can to prevent the exodus.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

In Czech, we have a good word for what I experienced this morning with the @Westpac - the word is 'buzerace' or harassment. When you want to withdraw YOUR MONEY they will make everything you won't be able to do it.

YOUR MONEY is not yours.

They blocked my money, asked me intrusive questions and now I have to wait for them to make decision about MY MONEY.

I am so over the fiat and the fiat banks. Make it make sense.

Great question. I am writing about exactly this in my book. But also, as you know this happens on so many different levels - as you are touching on the Weberian monopoly on violence, the exit options are prevented in many different ways. Just these days, I've been dealing with bank freezing my account.

@gunzaj12 @Trezor Good one.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@DeadTree2X @Westpac Terrible state of things.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@Cryptomattster @Westpac I did not read the small print but I was aware. I just did not think it was so bad.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@dePAKES @Westpac Just wanted to buy a few sats. They didn't want me to.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@Bernie_Manrique @MichaelDunwort1 Amazing value added. A follow.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@MichaelDunwort1 @ploystationgame By that logic, no one in is getting fulfillment (from the work, or in life under those conditions) which is hard to believe.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@Dale21M Shame I couldn't have come. Looks like a great one.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@DomokunNakamoto @Westpac Thank you 🙏 I got my account back but now they are scrutinising withdrawals to another bank account i set up. Exit is being prevented. They just want your money.

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@westpac - I tried to withdraw money to a crypto exchange - you froze my account - no communication from your side, no email acknowledging I now have no access to my money. Just silence - this is unacceptable!

This all after I phoned you as you blocked my b/a to answer all the intrusive questions, my case was escalated to a senior investment manager and I haven't heard from you since then. I logged a complaint. But what's the progress? Why am I not getting any update, just silence? Why cannot I access my money?

After being a customer for years, this is so disappointing.

[Westpac @Westpac]

Our services are now available. We’re very sorry for the disruption and frustration this has caused.

We're monitoring our systems closely and will provide any further updates here.

@efenigson @btchistoricosv @isabellasg3 @mir_btc @bitcoinofficesv Looking great. Enjoy! ☺️

[Mind the ₿lock @MindTheBlock21]

@jamesabernard @Westpac Thanks, James. I am definitely done with westpac after this. Just trying to move some money to Up bank and westpac still reviewing the outgoing withdrawal. It is a joke. I will move away from them asap and then keep NAB and Up - I hear these are some of the better options.
