Profit smokes people's heads off, just like with anything related to it.
Banks are just there for the opportunity too, and it's our choice to give them such with our BTC.
People will give their bitcoins to banks, that's inevitable because banks have all the power and resources for that. The majority of Bitcoin holders are here for the money and the majority of them don't know how to use self-custody wallets. Statistics show that exchanges hold the most Bitcoins and soon companies like BlackRock will take them over. I don't know how ETFs work in the USA and abroad but in my country, ETFs are available via banks, so if you want to buy ETF, you have to create a bank account and from that bank account via web app or mobile app, you'll be able to buy ETFs within seconds. Our opportunity was before 2021, now it's banks' opportunity.
Agreed...I am glad I went into the space earlier to understand what lies behind such "integrations" from the banks and such institutions.
