Banks are dying. And this has significant implications for your savings and your business and investment potential… because there are tremendous opportunities for anyone who focuses their capital and talents ahead of these big-picture trends.
The banking world is DOOMED! Many people are working on payment systems, and delivery systems that could turn the banking world on its head, much like UBER have done to taxis, Expedia has done to travel, and AIRBNB/BOOKING.com has done to hotels.
Banking in its current form is not capitalism. It is a fraud and crony capitalism kept afloat by ever-more desperate government interventions. It should be dismantled. Under a system of 100 percent reserves, loan banks (100 percent equity-financed investment trusts) would be like any other business and would not need any more regulation than that of the makers of potato chips.
Central Banks are planning to take over the National & Comercial Banks.  That is the very reason the Authorities allow the existence of Cryptos. Once Central Banks have their own Crypto, they will own all Nationa Banks...and their depositors and creditors.

European, Swiss & Canadian banks are in a VERY, VERY BAD shape - Canadian Banks are in trouble in Paradise: the Canadian Real Estate bubble deflation will affect the Canadian Banks.
Note: share prices of Canadian Banks are MANIPULATED by the Big 5 Financial groups to their present levels!!

Our Opinion:

• There are NO WAY authorities will risk the bankruptcy of any bank. They will bail them out ALL, and this will continue until Hyperinflation hits.
• In Europe, the same process is happening...but there are fewer banks, and it's done more subtly. Spain is a good example.
• THE LONG TERM trend doesn't look good. Why take the risk of investing in Financials???? There are far better SAFER investment instruments.
• There is NO WAY you can trust the financials as they are absolute masters in cheating on the investor.
• The Central Banks' direct involvement medicates the credit markets, and the FED's balance sheet looks like a levered junk bond fund.
• Just look at Greek banks, how fast problems can unfold, and how it impacts a country's debt situation.
  
• Cyprus shows the way...of what we expect: MASSIVE BAIL-INS.
