BANKS DON’T “CLOSE” AT 5PM -- THEY CLOSE ON YOU 🛑 Eric Trump in Davos basically said the quiet part out loud: the “old” financial system isn’t slow because it can’t be fast… it’s slow by design. Slowness = profits. Think about the most normal thing in the world: You try to move your own money after 5:00 PM on a Friday… and suddenly it’s like you asked for a favor from the year 1997. Why? Every hour your cash sits idle over the weekend is another hour the big banks earn interest on your money. Not yours. Theirs. That’s the “float” -- and it’s worth billions. Modern tech (hello, blockchain/crypto) already moves value instantly, 24/7, no permission needed, no middleman skimming. No begging for “business hours.” But if money moves in seconds… the float disappears. If the float disappears… a massive profit machine dies. So of course they fight tooth and nail against crypto legislation that would make instant, permissionless money the norm. Eric’s take: big banks are pushing back on crypto legislation because crypto threatens their decades-old arbitrage racket.
