I have never gotten into crypto, so this most likely won't affect me. The reasons I didn't get into it was that I could never quite see how it operates. It's not a "currency" in the strict definition of the word, it doesn't act like currency, and seemed that its "value" was something not determined by backing in anything.
Perhaps, but I have found that sticking with the things I do know (currency, gold and silver coins and bars) and standard banking accounts -- savings and checking -- serves me better and gives me more peace of mind than trying to learn about technologies that I don't understand. Maybe it's my age, but I am very conservative when it comes to my money.

What if the banks accepted the crypto because it was compatible with their network?
