It was 100% to do with the banks (and payment processors) changing their T&C's.
In what way is that anyone but the banks, to blame?
Rare? Seriously? lol

You are likely in your late 40s or early 50s? this is the thing that ruined your financial life? Really???

I have no faith in the banking system, what a ridiculous thing to say considering the statement I made but then, it is par for your course. Again it is you reading into things and applying your own bias. When I say it isn't the banks to blame, it is you who has to rely on them. You.

While you like to blame the banks on all of your ills, they aren't the ones that have you relying on Steem income, they aren't the ones that made the decisions in your life about what you study, where you live or who you screw or don't. I am yet o see you take any responsibility for your own position so far. Truth seeker?
