One of the first sentences is the one most people simply won't see coming. Defi will eat banks. I don't think it will happen to the big investment whales like Goldman, but I could see regional banks simply run out of customers.
Don't get me wrong here, there is a massive amount of inertia in the current banking system, so it's going to be a long time coming. That said, a 10 year old today will probably at some point in their life never have a need for a bank. Everything will be accessible on their phone or tablet, all secured on a block chain. It'll be fast, convenient, safe and won't require half a dozen bank employees to make it happen. His employer will pay him in Fedcoin, he'll buy dinner with his fed coin, he'll borrow money against a Defi liquidity pool and pay the pool back with the fed coin he earns from his employer. None of it will require a bank.
