Bit coins.....those are those golden chocolate ones, roight?
Nah....I'm wondering how many people have ditched regular banks and have gone digital. I feel somewhat old-fashioned.

Bitcoin is not for serious investors, it's for beginners and gamblers.
In Sweden a lot of transactions and investments are digital. There are places that don't accept cash, only plastic card payments. They replaced old banknotes a while ago with new once, I don't know what they look like as I very seldom use it.

Is it good or bad? Dunno. Convenient so far.
I'm sure bricks and mortar banks' days are numbered in the same way as travel agencies were a generation ago. Do you use Revolut?

Two points; : A) 1. bricks and mortar banks are not dead; as everything they have evolved, and become lot more profitable. They have a solid "customer base" and "moneys to change.
2. certain bank activities do require being "brick". even for small users.
B) 1. Revolut Mozo, nickel, Morning etc (neobanks) have a potential to grab a share of the bank market, if they can provide additional services at lower costs (online services are already provided by brick banks).
2. neobanks did "revolutionize" banking by providing services (making easier to open "trans accounts) but they have not and will not "revolutionize " banking, per se, as they have to follow "bank laws".
