Chase is pretty good about giving me debit cards, credit cards, FDIC protection, e-checks, safe/reversible transactions, and fraud protection. They also do actually answer the phone when I call.

Maybe you just need a new bank? Bitcoin provides none of these solutions.

I'm sure Chase provides great services, but isn't it like a first-world bank? They have high minimum-balance requirements and fees in most countries.

I do, and that's why I plan on completely switching to neo-banks.

It does provide a few things that Trad-Fi does not, notably self-custody of funds and deterministic monetary policy. It's valuable to many people.
