So, if I give my money to a bank, it's partially my fault? Huh, how about that; you can't lay all evils at the feet of banks because you're too lazy to think deeper.

if you give your money to a bank or to mt gox or to anyone else, and they run away, yes it is partially your fault.
you are responsible to do your due diligence and risk management, don't expect for anyone to bail you out.

You're a joke. Blaming the victim like a chest thumping libertarian. That is, until you become victim yourself you go crying to daddy gov't

Theres a reason why banking is heavily regulated

banking regulation is a joke, those regulators end up working at the same banks they regulated after they are done living of the tits of the government.
the only viable solution is being your own bank by using bitcoin.

in the crypto world you can store your money on your own.
if you give your money to someone else to hold it for you and they run away with it, its partially your own fault you got robbed.

Yeah, because no one has ever scammed anyone in the crypto world! Total honesty here! I don't think banks have a monopoly on being dishonest. I would submit that greed is the link between so many dishonest maneuvers.

It's stupid for banks not to cheat in a society of cheating institutions. What exactly is supposed to be fair about fractional reserve banking? Billing mistakes and banking errors always work in the institutions favor and that's a reason why banks dislike/ban crypto Wink

One main reasons why banks continue to dominate over bitcoin is that it gives interest rate for your deposits and you can use the money to invest in trust funds. For bitcoin this area is lacking. Other than that bitcoin wins hands down in terms of security. So despite the question on whether honesty is there people will still continue to use them

I strongly agree with your opinion, now with bitcoin system then you save the property with a high level of security, which would be very difficult for someone else to take your bitcoin with a layered security system, hopefully bitcoin wallet is always updating its security system ... Cool

I've been going over the history of modern banking, and right from the start when banks were little more than goldsmiths with vaults they already couldn't stop themselves from loaning out deposited client gold to other clients (e.g running a fractional reserve scam).

is it possible that humans by nature simply cannot hold other people's money for long periods of time without their greed leading either to them loaning out other people's money or downright running away with it?
it seems to me bitcoin's solution of being your own bank is the only way to keep your precious money from being stolen by one elaborate scam or another.
