I don't see how this is any different to the wild west. You have every last cent of your money in your pockets, ruffians with guns are trying to take it from you, and you, outnumbered, but with your own gun, are trying to stop them. This is why banks grew quite popular in the wild west.

heh, you're hittin on the fundamental bait-and-switch tho
wild west banks held your **gold**, not your *identity*
today they hold the **rails** , if you refuse the bank, you can't even be *hired*
that's the new coercion: permission-to-earn, not permission-to-store.
crypto fixes one half (hodl/bearer money), but w*age rails* still suck until we thread P2P payroll via bitcoin or monero LN
baby steps ✊
The data says, more guns, less crime. Also, the "wild west," actually wasn't that wild.
