Bitcoin Is Ownership Rather Than Debt Most people don’t realize that the money in their bank account isn’t really theirs. When you deposit cash, the bank legally owns it—you own a promise to return it.

Banking Hasn’t Changed In A Century The banking system looks remarkably similar to how it did a hundred years ago. Sure, we now have apps and online portals, but the fundamental structure hasn’t changed: banks still control the flow of money, charge fees for moving it, and require permission for every transaction.
