this might be a stupid question that can draw the ire of some folks, but what are the most, uh, "bitcoin-friendly" banks that are out there? would credit unions have a leg up over a traditional bank in this case?

In Germany, a regional bank "Volksbank Raiffeisen Bayern Mitte", they even offer bitcoin together with a private key to self custody. They are super bitcoin friendly and understand the space we are in. I think only german residents can open an account.

I don't have an account yet but thinking about to open one to have an account in case the other fuckers close mine.
