Every month, millions of people quietly hand over their hard-earned money to banks through fees that have become so normalised we barely notice them.Account maintenance fees, overdraft charges, ATM surcharges, wire transfer costs—these seemingly small amounts compound into substantial sums over time.Meanwhile, the infrastructure to become your own bank through Bitcoin has never been more accessible or affordable.The calculations might surprise you.At least it did for me; as a stingy pleb looking to maximise my savings, I’ve been pretty surgical about trimming my spending and optimising where I can, but banking fees have been one I’ve ignored for the longest time.

Years ago there was a TV 📺 programme about a guy in the UK who tried to open his own bank, after the 08 financial crisis
iirc his name was Dave and he was a multi millionaire, he started lending money to small businesses when high street banks refused.
Despite having success, Dave couldn't obtain a full banking licence, proving that the fiat banking cartel is a closed shop and they don't want you joining the club.
