Re: Will banks go on extinction if they do not adopt cryptocurrencies?
Fiat has lost its value, but we still can't do without fiat. The banking system will always be needed to some point, but their business won't be booming the way it was in the past decades if they don't adapt to trends and what people are interested in. Indeed, they will run out of business pretty soon.
Their policies, charges, low interest on savings, slow transactions, etc., will make all their customers move away from using it. In terms of overprinting local currency, which has ended up devaluing it, that's the decision of the central bank in collaboration with federal inflation won't want anyone to save in their local currency.

As long as governments exist, don't expect banks to go anywhere soon. Besides, Fiat money allows governments to have full control over our financial life. Would you imagine banks disappearing in the future? That means zero control or monetary policy changes by the government. I know crypto (especially Bitcoin) is very popular these days. But I wouldn't count on government ditching Fiat in favor of decentralized, private monies. Not now or in another century.
I'd say banks and governments are only into Bitcoin just to make a lot of money. Not because they believe in it. With the huge taxation benefits provided by BTC, it would be dumb enough to ignore the craze. Banksters, governments, and institutional investors are smart. I'm afraid we aren't, especially when we're letting such entities accumulate a large portion of the circulating supply. The more BTC ending up in their hands, the worse. Ultimately, banks will adapt as they switch to the new digital Fiat system (CBDCs). Expect the erosion of privacy and freedom in the near future. Just my two sats.
