I was chatting to an investment banker a few days ago and I asked her to sum up why she didn't see the benefits of Bitcoin, she trotted out the usual not backed by anything, I didn't disagree with her, we just moved on to another subject. But I bet the next day she had a smile on her face when it dipped ☺️☺️
If it is really a she, then you have to remember that the Bitcoin community is massively male dominated as women find it even more difficult to get it.
And then, as an investment banker, her entire life is built around a business model and narrative to which bitcoin is the kryptonite. Even if she buys it privately, she may even get in trouble with her employer just for talking about it. HSBC, a global banking giant, for example, is extremely strict about it, which is why defence mechanism to protect the narrative (and business model).
Nobody is indoctrinated more than the inner circle of the indoctrinator himself and an investment banker is part of the figurative inner circle.

Are you able to expand at all? How do you know this?
reply
Part of it, from people who work(ed) in HSBC.
Talked to people who had their payments declined or even account suspended, and it is not difficult to see why given HSBC's public stand on this.
So yeah, they are trying everything they can to put their head in the sand, pretending not to see anything and desperately hoping the status quo continues.
