✍ Bank teller: "We need to know why you withdrew $50,000."

- You: "Because I own the money. This is a personal decision."

- Bank: "Without a clear reason, we can't complete the transaction."

- What's not said:

Even though the balance is in your name, sometimes you don't have full control over it.

- In a traditional banking system, the bank has the power to block your access to your money—especially if it doesn't like the method, timing, or even the reason.

- Laws like "anti-money laundering" are used as a ready excuse.

- No notice. No explanation. Just "internal policy."

✍️ The real question:

- Do you feel safe in a system that can restrict your money at will?

- Is the money in the bank truly yours... or just a temporary permission to use it?
