The banking industry are terrified of cryptocurrency. Its the same story as taxis hating ubers, or blockbuster hating netflix. Except in this case theres not just billions at stake but hundreds of trillions. It is in their best interest to absolutely destroy consumer confidence in it, at any cost. Really what is a trillion dollars to sink crypto with an endgame of keeping their future profits rolling in. In addition to their money, unlike uber and netflix they are in bed with the media, and whatever they say goes. They could have a negative crypto article published every hour of the day whilst simultaneously crashing the price..they dont care about the tech/money to be gained from crypto. Simply to preserve their own.
Honestly get out while you still can and salvage some of what you have..seriously this isnt even a conspiracy theory, put yourself in the banking industries shoes...
