Unfortunately, I don't use Stripe products because they discriminated against me by blocking my account because my project used a Blockchain (which I built myself) as an authentication mechanism.

It's discrimination because Blockchain tech is part of my religious beliefs... Why is it so that less intelligent people who believe that there is a man in the sky watching over them have protection against discrimination but I don't? Yet my beliefs are grounded in science and an actual understanding of our socio-economic system. I deserve more protection, not less!

Does the law require that one's beliefs be irrational in order to benefit from discrimination protections?

Based on the above article about thousands of AI written PRs littering their code base, you might replace “unfortunately” with “fortunately.”

What are your religious beliefs? I'm intrigued to hear more.

“Banks are afraid of only two things: regulators and their wives, and they’re more afraid of their wives than the regulators”

I would retroactively make that quote gender neutral but they're really not afraid of their husbands.

Financial institutions feel like blockchains don’t have a clear chronology of KYC/AML, they dont care about KYC/AML they care about violating it for their relationship with the regulator.
