I wonder how much of the Crypto hype is because the US banking system still lives in the 1980s or thereabouts.

If everybody in the US had access to bank accounts with easy electronic transfers within 5 seconds for no charge, no chargebacks and so on, as people are used to in the EU, would people still be excited about Bitcoin?
