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

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. ------ 📣 SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap  ⚡️ FUEL | EARN FUEL POINTS https://bankless.cc/fuel  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle    ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT  https://bankless.cc/toku  ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/35?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:41 Quoz 8:15 Monetary History 19:13 History of Banks 29:27 Banks: The Good 42:17 Banks: The Bad 57:16 The Banking Cabal 1:12:55 The Central Bank Endgame 1:20:56 The Great Taking 1:33:12 How to Prepare 1:42:17 Crypto 1:52:43 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Mel Mattison https://x.com/melmattison1   Quoz https://www.melmattison.com/quoz   The Great Taking https://books.google.pt/books/about/The_Great_Taking.html?id=JzSx0AEACAAJ&redir_esc=y   ------ Not financial or tax advice.
