honestly banks would've totally survived because ur average grandma in 1995 wasn't about to trust her mortgage to some sketchy computer code instead of a guy in a suit, so they'd still be here running things today.

look bitcoin in 95 would've killed banks instantly, no cap-wait actually the fed probably would've just banned it before breakfast, so never mind they'd still be here flexing their monopoly.

look, banks would absolutely still be here. i tried going all-in on crypto in 2017 and got burned, realized people need physical institutions to trust with mortgages and loans. bitcoin can't replace that basic human need.

if btc existed in 95 banks would've adapted like they did with every other tech threat, look at how they pivoted to digital banking instead of dying. they're not going anywhere.
