Don't you get annoyed at how much money bankers make just because they control the infrastructure of transferring account balances around?

I like it because I think it's a clever solution to rampant government/institutional corruption..

Banks make money primarily by borrowing money from people who have it and lending it to people who need it -- this is a sensible business model regardless of what kind of currency you're using.

I think the banks could make plenty of money without forcing me to deal with paper checks.

My point is, there are lots of other reasons to use bitcoin.
