“In an effort to build equity, Bonnie and Clyde bent traditional banking rules.”

“In an effort to expand his cooking skills, Jeffrey Dahmer bent traditional approaches to home cuisine.”

Fed Kashkari still hating on crypto: "It's still basically useless for consumers. I mean, there's, there's nothing you can do with Bitcoin or a stablecoin that you can't already do with Venmo or with your traditional banking products, other than circumventing banking regulation."

Crypto is fundamentally about rediscovering why the traditional banking system is so great, Part 73
While Sam Altman’s one-time romantic partner Lachy Groom was apparently not the person who had $11 million in crypto stolen from his account, Groom does own the home where the invasion happened, and reportedly lives there too. buff.ly/CcWAEVa

Sure, crypto literally converts valuable resources into valueless spreadsheet entries in a way that is significantly worse than traditional banking in every respect, but on the other hand it also circumvents consumer and investor protection laws.

Shadow banking to increase from US$74.7trn (2024) to $148.5trn (2032), dwarfs retail banking.

Enmeshed with traditional banking, insurance and pension sectors.

It is opaque, unregulated, no rules about capital adequacy, leverage, risks.

When the crash comes, no sector will be left standing.

Do not mess with deposit insurance. Especially at a time you are introducing all kinds of financial volatility and uncertainty. You really, really, really do not want confidence in traditional banking harmed. So therefore, they probably will.

Immediately thought of this one.

yeah, traditional banking, not questionably regulated US financial tech startups

Treasury Department is tracking these transactions, including transfers through traditional banking systems and digital assets. He added that Washington is exerting pressure on the Iranian regime via "maximum pressure on Iranian oil exports".

They're gonna make it so banking with traditional financial institutions is so onerous that we will drift over to Bitcoin and x bank

Why are all these cryptobros complaining about being "debanked" when crypto was supposed to replace traditional banking?

Oh, that's right. Because crypto isn't currency and still needs to be converted into real money once they're done fleecing morons with their pyramid scheme.

They’re rediscovering Dune discourse from scratch, sort of like how Crypto guys are slowly discovering why the rest of the traditional banking system exists.

casual reminder that popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are less private and secure than traditional banking, and cash remains your best option for private, secure financial transactions

Shadow Banking Collapse. First Brands. Tricolor. Yeah, I know: what’s he onto now? There’s whole ecosystem of banks operating outside traditional regulatory environment. But they inched into more traditional lending. And now large companies are failing. Oops.

I'm with you on the fact that traditional banking doesn't serve marginalized communities very well.

But you can't solve that problem with a technical solution. If you want to fight racism in banking, then fight racism in banking.

Don't Jim Crow your money into a separate but unequal crypto account

It is fully not a good deal in the traditional sense but Arteta and Berta are essentially banking on the highs being so high that it will not matter in the least. And honestly that’s not so crazy given the foundations they’d be adding to
If the final Bruno fee is £77m plus add ons, I don't think that's a great deal (if that matters). A "fair" price is probably 25-30% lower, if you think that he moves the needle on another PL title or winning the CL I think that is just about up to the price that you can justify.

Any article about crypto needs to put up front that the purpose of its existence is to anonymously transfer money outside the traditional banking system…you know, for crime

Equivalent to the skip over of traditional banking and telecom in many of those areas.

I’ve been an investigative & financial journalist for years and nobody is listening. I also worked in investment banking in NYC in the 1990s. I don’t know why traditional media isn’t covering this & explaining it to people.

The EU is seeking to ban all cryptocurrency transactions with Russia, in a bid to crack down on Moscow using assets outside the traditional banking system to evade sanctions.
