Moreover, we will all want our money safe.

Money is not safe in a bank, you just accepted a widely told lie.

Banks exist because most people don’t want to stuff cash under a mattress or memorize seed phrases. For 99% of daily life, convenience beats ideology. And yes, money in the bank is part of a social contract: they use it, you access it when you want, the world keeps spinning. The fee is the price of modern friction

There is the trick. If convenience creates more harm for you, then you are stupid for choosing the convenient way. Does having access to junk food delivery all the time, which is peak convenience, mean that you should eat than instead of healthy food? Of course not. It is the same with money. People got tricked and manipulated through a variety of things that banks absolutely must exist when this is not true. In some countries, people are obsessed with using cards or tapping with their phone. The government and private banks have so much data about them, that you are just 1 law away from a totalitarian nightmare. Most people are not smart enough or educated enough to recognize a problem before it is too late. You don't need to put your hand in fire to know that you will get burned, you know?

If someone likes to use bank cards a lot, they can't really support Bitcoin or crypto. There is no consistency in the actions. They may be here simply to make profit, but they can't really support the idea behind crypto.
