As I said, bitcoin is unlikely to become a bank in the traditional sense. Banks are institutions that provide a wide range of financial services, not just simply savings account as many people think. However, most people’s demand for banks is still mainly to deposit savings.
Yep, I agree with your assumption. I also think that Bitcoin won't be like a bank. My statements just supported your assumption.  Wink
Sure, banks is for saving. People are aware about it, they know that storing money into banks is a king of saving. They won't expect for profits.

When we store and fully control our own assets. This means the responsibility falls entirely on us. Whatever happen to our assets, we own it.
Indeed. we have the responsibility of our assets fully because we manage it ourselves. The decentralization system enables us to manage it in our own way.

Asset may increase or decrease in value.  Asset as we know is something that one holds that has value.  Although we wanted our asset to increase in value, an item that is devaluing over time can still be considered an asset.  So not because the fiat deposited in banks is decreasing in value, it is not an asset anymore, it is still an asset called depreciating asset.
I'm not really sure what your point is. However, in my understanding, it can be called as an asset if it possibly raises its value. It is different with money that it always drops its value from time to time. So, I personally can't assume it as a kind of assets.

Therefore, Bitcoin can still serve as a bank for those who want to store their value instead of relying on traditional bank.
Yes, people have become much more updated and aware nowadays. They are no longer solely dependent on banks because many are choosing bitcoin as an alternative to traditional banking systems. The kinds of problems and complexities that exist in the banking sector are not present in bitcoin. Bitcoin can be stored very easily, if the private keys are kept safely, that is enough to ensure security.

According to current trends and surveys, the popularity of saving money in bitcoin instead of relying on the banking sector is increasing day by day. People are choosing bitcoin as a place of trust and security. Therefore, I agree with you that bitcoin is now functioning in a way similar to banks.

[...]
Banks function in manner of permission and control, Bitcoin works as Self-Sovereign alternative. Security is not something that is promised by company, it is modern day version of a personal vault without involvement of third party, it is all about private keys.

Bitcoin is not simply like a bank. It is upgrade to Settlement Layer of global economy. As trends and surveys indicate, assets that cannot be debased are being sought after and people are disassociating themselves from Custodial Risk. It is important to note that, while Bitcoin overcomes transparency and accessibility issues, it is missing Safety Net found in traditional systems. This compromise marks dawn of new era in finance, where absolute freedom is achieved at cost of adopting Digital Hygiene practices to preserve wealth. Fact that Bitcoin is gaining popularity as savings tool is ample evidence that risk of self custody is less preferable than risk of bank driven inflation for many.
