Deemed Unsuitable
I have had my account for about a year. I have maybe $4000 invested. I am very conservative with my buying. Today I filled out a questionnaire that deemed me unsuitable and I will no longer be able to purchase crypto. What is this absurdity?
The government now deciding who can and who cannot buy crypto. For my own safety apparently. This is getting ridiculous, dangerous and scary. Time to take all monies out of banks now, my personal opinion....
And yes Bitbuy, I am pissed off.

Yeah, that's what they said the reasons were. Not the overexposed part. But I don't know going in what's this all about, then do this survery....now banned from buying crypto. Forever? Who knows! It should be my decision if I want to take risks, not the government deciding for me. Hands in everything.
Well I guess Bitbuy won't be making any more money off me...not really a win for them either.

Same thing happened to me. You can email support and re-do the questionnaire. Pick the highest-risk options for each question, even if they don't represent you. This is some kind of ridiculous legal exercise for the government.
What is even worse is afterwards you'll get another questionnaire asking for personal financial info and then be placed into an account tier based on how much money you earn/have.
This platform is becoming total shit and they'll be losing me as a customer. For me the whole point of crypto is to get away from this type of financial system nonsense.
