Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that crypto could help Israel bypass potential Western financial sanctions. He says he's already ordered a plan to be drawn up. Crypto instead of banks. Banks originally emerged independently of governments. Over time, governments brought them under their control. Today, banks can't even let customers withdraw their own money without satisfying regulators. But now governments themselves are discovering how dependent they are on banks. And they're looking for alternatives. Will governments ultimately embrace crypto? Hardly. They have no use for a financial system they can't control. But for people who value freedom over control, crypto offers exactly that: the freedom to hold and transfer money without relying on banks.
