These are not analogous at all.
Ok, how about this for comparable analogy for what VeriBit represents to crypto:
McDonalds drive-thru service.
Only, in this case, it's a drive-thru service where you get to keep your money, not in your analogue wallet, but in a digital interest-earning savings account and pay only that is needed for your purchase.
Its analogous to McDonalds in the sense that the pictures on the outside don't represent what is actually being fed to the people on the inside.
