This Would Be Illegal… (Unless You’re a Bank)

You’re not going to believe what banks are legally allowed to do with your money, cuz if anyone else tried this, they’d be in jail.

In this video, I walk you through a financial system that looks like a scam… but is completely legal, because the people running it wrote the rules. At first, it might sound like I’m talking about a shady crypto exchange — customer funds re-lent out, leveraged bets, no permission, no consent, no accountability. But I’m not talking about crypto at all.

I’m talking about your bank.

Fractional reserve banking is often treated like a boring economics term, but once you see what it actually means — and how it affects your savings, your purchasing power, and the very money you use — it starts to look like the biggest financial fraud of the last 100 years.

And the craziest part? They don’t even hide it.
It’s just been normalized.

If you’re rethinking the system right now, there is an alternative. That’s where Bitcoin comes in.
