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, soon there will be no commercial banks in the world.  The central bank currency (CBDC) can function without the intermediation of commercial banks.  Consequently, commercial banks will be liquidated in the future. 

Could Bitcoin become the bank for all people on planet Earth?  In theory, yes, it can. 

However, in my opinion, people are not yet ready for such responsibility.  To use a currency that does not need intermediaries, you need to be a very smart and independent person.  There are few such people in the world.
