A family member of mine sold a car a little while ago. They deposited the check into their bank account. I don't remember the exact amount, but I think it was $15k-$20kUSD, somewhere in there.
Anyway, they were told by the bank that a small portion would be available immediately, like $1k or something. Then more, like $5k, would be available after 2 business days, then the rest a week later.
My family was losing their minds, trying to figure out why this was happening. They felt as if the bank thought their money was illegitimate or something. It wasn't, but they were so caught off-guard by the money not being available immediately.
I thought this was great marketing for bitcoin, too. I pointed that out, and they groaned at me lol
