I don't think that banks are going to die in the next few years. It's been 20 years since 2001 and many bad things happened, but so did it in the time before. Maybe there were less terror attacks before 2001, but there were other bad things like wars too. I don't really understand how banks are being the problem here. Without banks all the things would have happened as well. Saying that it's the banks fault for us losing our freedom is wrong in my opinion. Most of us already gave up their freedom by using all the social media in todays world. The big companies are getting all our personal information for free. Who knows how much of our pictures and messages are being stored on some servers.
