Banks give a false security perception.
I know this because during my life, i watched several people having their money stolen from them.
From having millions to eat trash. One got so affected he killed the bank manager.
And im not even talking about Corralito situations.
That's fucking bananas. But I also think there would be quite a bit less security, and more violence (at a micro level) if everyone "banked" with Bitcoin in self-custody. From outright loss from mistakes and scams, to wrench attacks. Seriously-- a guy goes to a bar in his Corvette, you wait for him to come out, a little tipsy, and you arrange for him to transfer you a large sum of Bitcoin.

Oh, thats happening today..
Here scammers try to set up a p2p deal and they will drug you with fentanyl..
After a while they torture you.. Not sure if the best combo because fentanyl acts as a painkiller.. but you get the idea..
guess people have to keep separate wallets and stop showing off
