Why Banks Suck, The Great Taking & How To Prepare | Mel Mattison

Bankless

Why do banks suck?

Banks suck is the reason we started this bankless thing. Not that banks are all bad but they take too much and give to little. They need to be disrupted.

We brought Mel Mattison, author of Quoz, and he’s very clear on what’s wrong with banks.

They’ve become too centralized, unbalanced, short-sighted, corrupt. Power has tilted away from the people and into the hands of a central banking cabal. The relationship between sovereign governments and private banks has become an unholy alliance.
