With the world's economy collapsing, people are looking for alternative safe-haven assets to use in times of turmoil. Interest in crypto has sparked a lot ever since the stock market went on a decline. If people decide to use crypto, precious metals, and physical cash, will it be possible to live a normal life without a bank?

In my case, I'd be willing to exit the banking system in order to have true sovereignty over my money. After all, that's what crypto is all about. If you could live your normal life without the need to ever interact with a bank (having a bank account to make transactions, etc), it'll be a blast. With the world shifting towards the online realm for e-commerce, virtual meetings, and more, it seems likely that people will be using decentralized money more thoroughly. There are still people using credit/debit cards, but that may change soon as Fiat becomes hyper-inflated.

What are your thoughts? Huh
Yes it very possible because the service of banks is not really needed in order for us to survive. It is the basic needs like shelter, clothing and food make us survive. Though banks especially now we are in pandemic is also neede for our comfort and fast transaction process. Though bitcoin may be use as an alternative but there is high risk of it to where one could make potential losses with bitcoin being a decentralized system.

This is why banks over bitcoin still banks has the advantage since I had just thought that banks ask us to pay transaction fee so as bitcoin when transferring bitcoin from one wallet to another wallet.
