The old banks are the castle kings. For hundreds of years, they’ve been the only place you could keep money safe, pay bills, save up, or borrow. They stand in the middle of every money move you make, like a toll booth on the only road in town. Cross them or say the wrong thing, and they can “debank” you. One click and your account is frozen. Good luck buying lunch.
