But wait, could it be the other way around? What if crypto dies out if it doesn’t get support from centralized platforms? Decentralized crypto seems to clash with what governments want.

I doubt banks will just disappear. People rely on them too much. Crypto has its place, but banks will adapt. If they don’t, who cares? Let them stick to fiat.

Seems like classic anti-bank talk. Sure, banks aren’t perfect, but without their backing, crypto wouldn’t have the traction it does now. The system’s broken, yeah, but it’s on the central banks, not the commercial ones.
I’ve noticed banks closing physical branches around here. Makes sense if they’re going digital. Maybe Eric is onto something about physical banks not lasting much longer.
But what does he mean by ‘extinct’? I think he’s saying banks need to adopt crypto tech or risk falling behind. A real possibility considering how trends shift.

I’ll check out the video later. But honestly, does Eric realize how many people aren’t tech-savvy? The banking world is evolving, even if slowly.

Totally agree. He’s just pushing crypto without considering the bigger picture. Banks will always play a role in fiat currency. They’re like the backbone of our economy.

Does anyone really trust him though? I mean, he’s been known to hype things up. Also, Bitcoin was never meant to replace banks entirely.
How can banks just vanish? They’re essential for loans and managing money. Eric’s talking nonsense if he thinks they’ll disappear.
True, banks have been around forever. They might get criticized, but they do provide essential services. Crypto won’t make them obsolete.

Exactly! Evolution is key. If banks don’t shift their operations to meet today’s demands, they could fade away. They need to offer better services.
With all the digital shifts happening, banks have to adapt or get left behind. They can’t ignore crypto forever.

Banks are businesses. They need profits. If crypto continues to grow, banks will want a piece of that pie.

In ten years? Seriously? National currencies aren’t going away. Governments won’t let their money systems just dissolve.
Good point! Just look at places like El Salvador. They’ve legalized Bitcoin but also keep their banks. It’s a balance.
You’re right. Banks are here to stay as long as fiat exists. They play a regulatory role that crypto can’t.

It’s not just about crypto taking over. If banks don’t modernize, they could lose relevance. They need to keep up.
With the rise of blockchain, banks will have to integrate it into their services to survive. Those that don’t could really struggle.
Banks are private entities, and they’ll always find ways to profit, even in a crypto-heavy world. They just need to be smart about it.
