“Two Canadian businessmen recently got some bad news from their banks. James Grant, owner of Canadian Bitcoins, got a letter. Melvin Ng, proprietor of CADBitcoin, got a phone call. Both men run online exchanges where you can purchase Bitcoins for Canadian dollars. And both were informed their businesses’ accounts frozen by Canada’s largest banks. ‘It’s a weird situation,’ Ng told us by phone recently. ‘We’re a normal Canadian business, we’re registered with the government, and a Canadian bank can just block it off.’ Grant was more blunt: ‘They just don’t like Bitcoins.'”
