Allow the public to purchase cryptocurrency

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow the public to purchase cryptocurrency however they see fit without the relevant banks being able to control what we can or cant spend our hard earned money on
Because I feel it is our human right to choose how we spend the money that we earn

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for individual banks and the FCA.
