Why won't they list the banks; I have yet to read anywhere the actual names involved in this.

These corporate dogs don't realize their pushing for a complete secondary system where they will have no control. There's starting up alt news, social media, movie studios, and now attempts at banks. I'm sure I'm leaving something out too.

Movie studios?

Daily Wire. Run Hide Fight and now Gina Carano's movie

Yea I forget what their called but there's few separate companies trying to make movies that have no connection to Hollywood corruption.

People who tried starting their own banks: - Ghadaffi - Saddam - JFK - Lincoln - Hitler People that own the Federal Reserve: ![](https://files.catbox.moe/6q7h2a.jpg)

A man in a strange hat and a woman with a deer head?

Rothschilds throwing an Illuminati ball in the early 70's.

The fact that the people who run the banks who own your country are also involved in one world government type conspiracies, and the fact that most world leaders look sickly and fuck kids is pretty alarming if you think about it.

> most world leaders look sickly and fuck kids Most world leaders are old, but there’s Macron and the New Zealand PM whose name I can’t remember… As for the child pedophillia, there are only a few world leaders who could be… doing that, probably aren’t.

I would support this bank with my life's savings

Credit unions man, credit unions are the way to go.
4 u/apologenics 06 Mar 2021 06:41
Could I ask why you say so?
8 u/Gundam 06 Mar 2021 12:00
Not him but credit unions are nonprofit and community owned.
1 u/apologenics 06 Mar 2021 18:13
But they're the same thing as banks, basically?
2 u/Gundam 06 Mar 2021 21:17
As far as the serivces they provide, yes. Checking/Savings accounts, car loans, personal loans, etc.
2 u/r2d2292 07 Mar 2021 01:13
Functionally they offer the same services, but structurally and hierarchically they run completely different; they effectively run as a non-profit owned partly by everyone putting money into them.
1 u/apologenics 07 Mar 2021 06:01
Sounds epic
2 u/wuzizname 07 Mar 2021 14:53
Credit unions are jointly owned by all the account holders, when the credit union makes money its shares amongst the account holders and most don’t charge fees for services because if you have an account there you own a part of the bank.

Payment processors banned him so he took payments in bitcoin - if his 'bank' was basically a bitcoin wallet he's profited like crazy over the past few months, wouldn't surprise me if the crazy bastard managed to do it
17 u/Retrofire 06 Mar 2021 06:30
"Just build your own bank" gab: OK! :)
15 u/refracktor 06 Mar 2021 03:45
I would bank with them..
14 u/IsraelDid911 06 Mar 2021 04:38
Isn't this all going a bit too far. Should a media outlet have to buy it's own bank?
15 u/Wingo 06 Mar 2021 05:34
No, but they’ve been banned by a 4th bank, so, what choice do they have?
26 u/RetardedPotato 06 Mar 2021 06:15
That's how bad things are currently. Want to provide people with means to say any legal speech they want? Be prepared to be blacklisted by all the major companies: hosting providers, banks, advertisers etc.
12 u/All1000wombats 06 Mar 2021 03:10
Count me in
10 u/sigilstone17 06 Mar 2021 03:22
I'd put my money in
10 u/some_crypto_guy 06 Mar 2021 07:16
That's likely a huge distraction and an overregulated racket. The people censoring speech control the processors and banking system. Find a payment processor outside of the US that takes cards and see what other people did first. Better yet, get people to start using a cryptocurrency as cash.
8 u/Retrofire 06 Mar 2021 07:19
Something just occurred to me... What if this authoritarian movement happened like 5-10 years ago, as opposed to now.... Wow, we would have been *fucked*. I mean, we still are kind of fucked. But not *totally* fucked. Technologies like IPFS, crypto, alt-tech platforms like Ruqqus & Gab, none of these existed... *Shivers*
8 u/some_crypto_guy 06 Mar 2021 07:24
The more they push the more we'll adapt.
7 u/None 06 Mar 2021 12:19
And they have a long long way to fall. Why would anyone bother banking with traditional finance if the payment processor might yank your merchant account because a user said something they didn’t like?
1 u/some_crypto_guy 09 Mar 2021 03:17
There is no "if". They do that. It's not a hypothetical.
8 u/CrustyCumBollocks 06 Mar 2021 06:20
I joked about this the other week when I was reading an article saying he'd been declined from multiple banks. I remember saying "knowing him, he'll build his own". I was half joking but half serious due to knowing his mantra of building his own stuff etc. Good for him anyway the fucking mad lad...

For all the scepticism and criticism around Gab and Torba (especially given the recent data leak), I can have a great amount of respect for a man whose principle is literally "If they ban us, we'll build our own service" - especially given that he relies a fair bit on open-source. No website that caters to his views, so he creates one (using Mastodon source code, then altered). YouTube is unwelcoming, so he creates Gab TV (worse, but an alternative). He decides he wants a global comment feature, so he builds Dissenter browser (forking Brave's open-source code; outdated version, but fills a niche). Web servers refuse to host him, so (to my knowledge) he becomes self-hosted. Banks decline him, so he allows cryptocurrencies and sees about getting his own bank. It's all very impressive, and it makes me want to throw my money at him.
5 u/Wingo 06 Mar 2021 05:32
Surely they should have looked into this after the 2nd or 3rd ban?
5 u/SEELE 06 Mar 2021 16:21
Banking is ripe for real disruption. Our whole system is mired in tradition and fear of change. Buy a bank and offer account holders an API like some of the Euro banks do now. The people who need that will flock to you.
