No reason to use them over river anyways
Unless you live in New York. River doesn't have a bitlicense.

WTF is a bitlicense?

I'm speechless..
And.. seriously.. 2015? They knew about bitcoin in 2015? Lucky bastards..
To be fair, I'd heard of it around 2013 but I didn't take the five minutes necessary to understand that it has more use cases than drug trafficking.

neither does swan

Correct. The reason I am at Swan (for now) is that I had an account before they ceased operating in NY. I was grandfathered in and allowed to use my account, but I could not switch my bank, or at least that's what I remember. I'm wondering now whether the events of the past few days mean that all NY accounts will be closed. I've decided to stop dca ing with Swan anymore anyway, as I said on a prior response.
