The intersection between traditional financial institutions and the crypto industry hinges on a critical question: what role do banks truly play in our financial ecosystem? In governance terms, it's layers of responsibility—trust, licensing frameworks, regulatory oversight, and the fundamental assurance that depositors and investors get their capital back when promised. This dynamic reshapes how both legacy institutions and digital finance firms must coexist, each bringing distinct value to market infrastructure. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader crypto landscape continue pushing these boundaries, forcing all participants to clarify where institutional safeguards meet decentralized innovation.

Basically, the banking trust system has already collapsed, and now you're rushing to embrace crypto? That's hilarious, history will repeat itself.

The traditional trust system of banks has long needed to be broken; decentralization is the true way forward.

The traditional trust system of banks is really a bit awkward now, as various innovations in the crypto world have directly exposed their vulnerabilities... But on the other hand, without this layer of protection, ordinary people would also be afraid.

The traditional trust system of banks should have been challenged long ago, but here we are, actually more transparent... Speaking of which, deposit insurance is indeed the moat of traditional finance.

The trust framework of traditional banks is long outdated. Now, on-chain transparency actually makes people feel more at ease. Irony, isn't it? --- Decentralized innovation vs. institutional guarantees. Basically, can we have both? I think there's no need to choose at all. --- Wait, so in the end, we still rely on regulation to define the rules of the game? What about our freedom as a group? --- The point of convergence? I think, right now, it's just two groups looking down on each other. --- Hold on, true value should lie in letting both modes compete, and ultimately, users choose for themselves. --- Layer upon layer of responsibilities... sounds complicated. Can't we just make it simple and put everything on-chain? --- Back in the days of Bitcoin, it was about bypassing this system. Now, we're going back to accepting it? Interesting.
