Year kicks off and banks are already sharpening their knives—fees, charges, hidden costs, you name it. They've got a thousand ways to nickel and dime you while barely moving your money. Honestly, it's wild how people still don't see it coming every single time.

this is exactly why we need programmable money instead of these opaque intermediaries—imagine if transaction logic was auditable on-chain instead of buried in some bank's terms of service nobody reads lol

NGL, the same old tricks from banks every year. It's really time to wake up.

Banks play the same tricks year after year; I really don't understand how people still get scammed.

Banks really are like that, charging fee after fee, and all year long your money is just sleeping there.

ngl, the bank's tricks haven't changed in decades, and some people still really trust them... That's why we need to go on-chain, brother.

That old trick of banks has actually been going on for three years now, and it's just becoming more and more blatant. I think these fees are like sideways movement in the crypto market—at first glance, it seems like no profit, but in reality, it's slowly losing value. Rest assured, when you look back in ten years, it's just a cycle.

Honestly, the traditional banking system should have died long ago. Isn't Web3 all about eliminating these bloodsucking vampires?
