Stop UK Banks from Blocking Cryptocurrency Withdrawals for Ordinary Citizens
UK banks are blocking ordinary citizens from withdrawing funds from registered cryptocurrency exchanges to their accounts. These individuals, who have already paid taxes on their income, have invested in cryptocurrency as a means of improving their future financial situation.
This practice is not only unfair but also counterproductive. The government encourages citizens to pay capital gains tax on cryptocurrency profits; however, this becomes impossible if people cannot access their own funds.
We urge the relevant authorities to reconsider these restrictive policies and allow law-abiding citizens access to their rightfully earned money. This will promote financial inclusivity and uphold the principles of fairness that underpin our society.
