Andreas Antonopoulos Slams Intuit After Payments Block for Crypto Use

American financial software company Intuit has apparently limited the account of one of the cryptocurrency industry's best-known figures, Andreas Antonopoulos.

In a series of tweets on Dec. 4, Antonopoulos stated that Intuit had prevented him from accepting credit card payments via its accounting services due to his use of cryptocurrency.

According to Antonopoulos, who undertakes regular international tours as a speaker and educator on Bitcoin and associated topics, the company even requested he stop referencing cryptocurrency on his official website.

Continuing, he added that Intuit had "Disabled" the option for him to accept credit card payments for his activities.

Antonopoulos is a fierce critic of traditional finance, often explaining to audiences how banks stand to lose to Bitcoin and new standards of individual financial sovereignty.

As Cointelegraph reported, certain payment entities continue to adopt a seemingly random policy on cryptocurrency clients.

This week, a Danish court ruled in favor of Nordea Bank continuing to prevent its employees from holding cryptocurrency, triggering accusations of hypocrisy from online commentators.

The latter denied service to cryptocurrency businesses, having faced criminal proceedings over fiat money laundering.

Last month, adult entertainment website Pornhub found payments to its 100,000 web models disrupted after PayPal suddenly refused to service the business.

The website began a deal with cryptocurrency project Verge last year.
