Actually, banks are on their way out. It is only the ignorance of the people that keeps them going. Here's what I mean.

Banks are set up to take property away from the people. They do it is several ways.

- Inflation exists. Inflation makes cost of goods rise faster than wages. Banks take their inflation money before everyone else.

- Financial institution loans are not loans. They are creations of new money. When the so-called loans are repaid, the banks are getting something that doesn't belong to them. And that says nothing about the interest.

- Things like quantum easing are fast creations of on-the-books cash. They give extra value to those in control of things by reducing the value of the everyday dollar.

Many people understand all this. Big business people are doing something about it. See here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5035677.0 to see what some big business people are doing. They are seceding from the United States. The way they are doing it is financially, by forming private groups, so that government has no effect.

How does government have no effect on private groups? By Constitution, law, and court case. Watch the video here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5034594.msg46044822#msg46044822. Also, Google "Private Membership Associations."

Cool

All of this is a bit uplifting, epecially that video i find incredibly curious. That said, we should really not underestimate either the government and deep state, they'll never willfully give up their power, and they posess a weapon so powerful, that we can barely fight them - mass surveillance apparatus and social media. Mass scale lobbyism is what's leading USA into its grave. Banks are the root of evil, since they're faceless corporations that are there just to exploit others' naivety, profit off of their own hard earned money and gain power. The sooner the bridge to decentralized platform is built, the better we're off. The economy is a mess mostly thanks to those, that only have their corporate interests in mind.
