Yep, there are etransfer limits, but apparently there are no  
limits for doing cash withdrawals in person:

The billing and then the removal is odd.  I wonder why they  
report it that way.

CIBC was good to you then.  I know people who were with  
ScotiaBank for years and still got charged a plan fee even  
*after* they turned 60+.

Mine is at 10.38%.  I was sitting pretty at closer to 6% for  
years before that.

It's not crypto that can can particularly go bad, but the  
exchanges.   Coinbase seems to be one operating well.

Sounds like you are doing well.
