The debate around financial inclusion continues to dominate policy discussions globally. A critical question remains: how do we ensure that banking services reach those who need them most? Traditional banking systems have long created barriers—geographic limitations, minimum balance requirements, and bureaucratic hurdles that lock out millions from basic financial services. This gap in access doesn't just affect individuals; it ripples through entire economies, limiting entrepreneurship, investment opportunities, and wealth accumulation for underserved populations. The conversation about fair banking access intersects with broader discussions about financial innovation. Whether through digital banking platforms, blockchain-based solutions, or reformed traditional institutions, the goal is clear: democratize financial services and eliminate unnecessary gatekeepers. A truly inclusive financial system recognizes that banking shouldn't be a privilege reserved for the few, but rather a fundamental service available to all.

Honestly, the way banks operate like this should have been changed long ago. Why set so many barriers?

That's right, the thresholds set by traditional banks are indeed outrageous—minimum deposit, fees, location... These things are just deliberate customer filters. After Web3 arrived, there was finally some hope, but the problem is that too many people still don't dare to get involved.

NGL, that's quite idealistic, but is the wall of traditional banks really that easy to knock down? Profitability is the real key.

NGL, the traditional banking system really needs to be overhauled. The minimum balance requirement is just ridiculous; poor people can't even reach the threshold.

NGL, I've heard this explanation many times, but the key issue still comes down to execution... Can blockchain really solve this?
