Kinda does?


Doesn't at all. You can take cash, keep cash and spend cash without any bank being involved. Cash is more anonymous than crypto and (if it's USD) accepted just about everywhere.

Banks give you an advantage with transaction security and deposit insurance, but that's dealing with money and not cash.


I understand that it is different in the US, but most countries’ cash is printed by some kind of central bank.
