As I implied in the first note, the dip caught me completely short in cash where I usually keep it, so I had to take a look at my "normal" bank.

I keep that account basically empty so no help there. But I do have a credit card with them, which I never use either, but it's there for an emergency -- like a 10% flash dip.

No time or patience to handle the 25-30-100% absurd markups the crazies at the P2P exchange wanted, so I rushed to Binance dot com.

Long story short: it had been such a long time since I last operated through a "normal" bank and through a cex, that I wasn't even aware that this top-3 Spanish bank now blocks all transactions related to "crypto" and apparently they've been doing it since 2021.

I did find some cash somewhere else, so I was able to buy -- a lot less than I wanted, but better than zero.
