This is highly amusing to me. IRS rules that crypto currencies are not, in fact, currency, but commodities and treated like property for taxation purposes. A couple of banks are now saying, "we won't let you purchase said commodities with credit cards". It's an arbitrary restriction. It goes to show you just how much control large centralized banks have over our purchasing decisions...which, to me, just reinforces the need for decentralized financial technology.

A lot of folks on here are proponents of net neutrality. I think banking should be neutral, too.
