I strongly agree with @jesus2099. He practically took the words right out of my mouth.

Discourse is not a bank, nor is it meant to be used as software for a banking service. I’m all for building communities with Discourse. Virtual banks though? Not so much… 🤔

There are other #web3 features that definitely fit into Discourse though (most notably, [non-fungible tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token)).
