🍌 Conspiracy Theorist Truther Red Peel ~ Just say NO to banks 🍌

"Truther Red Peel" is not my real name. But I gotta watch my back, you know? Lot of nefarious players out there trying to keep us Truthers from speaking out and exposing them.
Get ready, 'cause I'm here to drop some Truth Nuggets on you. Truth Nuggets are sort of like the red peel that Morpheus gave to Neo in the Matrix movie; once you've been "red peeled," you've been shown the truth and there's no going back!

I'm Truther Red Peel, here to shine light on weird things happening on Earth.

And I mainly focus on weird things happening to humans, 'cause bananas pretty much already have our shit together.

Think back for a minute, people. Do any of you remember -- or have any of you young'uns heard about -- how banks used to

pay you interest for the privilege of using your money?

Yep. It was a thing. You gave your money to a bank, they put it into an account with your name on it, then paid you monthly interest on it. 'Cause what the banks were actually doing was using your money to invest or give out interest-bearing loans, and it was only because you let them use your money that they were able to do that. So they gave you some of the profit.

And this was without charging you account fees for the so-called "service" they were providing you, when what they were actually doing was, what? Say it with me, people: using your money.

Truth Nugget: Banks, bank managers, banking officials, board of directors of banks... none of 'em have your best interest in mind.

In case you were wondering.

Now, I'm not sayin' there's some nefarious scheme to keep people in financial servitude, while a handful of power-hungry jerks pretty much rules the world.

Ha! Truth Nugget: That's exactly what I'm sayin'!

Nowadays, if you put money into a bank account, you're charged a monthly fee for the account, charged fees for services, charged for checks, charged for anything weird that happens with your electronic payments, charged if someone else's check doesn't have enough funds, charged for the ink in the pen you use at the bank...

Just threw that last one in there to see if you were payin' attention. It could happen though. If they thought they'd get away with it, the banks would charge you for that ink.

You might be asking, "Red Peel, what do you do instead of using a bank?"

Well, bananas don't actually have much use for banks, for several reasons:

• We don't use money. We're a collective. If someone needs something and you have it to give, you help a banana out.
• We don't have pockets to keep money and cards in anyway.
• We're much too smart to put up with that banking crap.
• We use crypto. Here's a secret Truth Nugget for ya: Bananas actually started the cryptocurrency system. That "Satoshi Nakamoto"? A group of bananas from Uruguay.

Right about now, you might be asking, "Red Peel, what should humans do instead of using a bank?"

Well, first off, you're already doing it: cryptocurrency. More specifically, engage with decentralized crypto.

But how 'bout if we stretch the old noggin and go down a little rabbit hole here of inventive, radical thinking and start putting Brand. New. Systems. into place?
Like the gifting economy, universal basic income, sharing and barter modalities? What if we, together (bananas and people), imagine a world in which all needs are met and more, without those damn bankers.

Nothing was ever brought into being without first being thought. So let's think more. Come up with more ideas, more systems, more ways in which everyone... everyone... wins. You think people thoughts, we'll think banana thoughts, and pretty soon, I'm sure we can come up with much better alternatives.

And to banks.
