Ripple just got a federal bank charter. 🏦 I work in banking. Here's what bothers me: half of crypto is celebrating that the "rebels" finally got invited into the system they swore they'd replace. Charters mean compliance. Compliance means freezes. Freezes mean your money moves when someone else says yes. Nothing wrong with good on-ramps. Just don't confuse a new bank with your exit. 🔑 Self-custody or a shiny new teller window. Which one did you sign up for? 👀
