A prominent figure from the crypto space just dropped a hot take: the traditional banking and financial infrastructure? Completely broken.

It's not exactly a novel critique—we've heard variations of this for years in the crypto community. But when someone leading a major spot trading platform echoes it, it tends to spark conversation. The argument centers on inefficiencies, gatekeeping, and structural limitations baked into legacy financial systems.

Whether you agree depends on your perspective. Traditionalists point to stability and regulation. Crypto advocates counter with speed, accessibility, and censorship resistance as the whole pitch for alternatives. Either way, it's clear the conversation about reimagining finance isn't going anywhere.

Here we go again with this? Yelling every day that traditional finance is bankrupt. When will it actually go bankrupt?

It's the same old tune again, traditional finance is bad, crypto will save the world... I've heard it so many times my ears are getting calluses, brother.

NGL, it's the same old story... I've heard it so many times over the past few years. Traditional finance definitely has issues, but crypto isn't exactly perfect either.

Here we go again, how many times have I heard this set of remarks... Is it really fresh? --- Traditional finance indeed has problems, but the solutions in the crypto world are not much better 🤔 --- Every time a big influencer speaks, it can stir public opinion, but does it really change anything... --- Stability vs censorship resistance, is choosing one really that binary? --- After all these years, it's still the same old story; the financial system is just like this --- Industry leaders say bankruptcy means bankruptcy, but that sounds a bit hollow --- Good grief, it's this same rhetoric again, switching identities to continue marketing, huh

It's just the same old story. The traditional financial system should have been reformed long ago. The real issue isn't whether it breaks or not, but who will step in to fill this gap.

The banking system is indeed outdated, but saying it's completely broken is an overstatement... Fast speed and no censorship sound great, but when it comes to critical moments, we still have to rely on rules.
