Someone had imaginary money on a computer and someone else stole the imaginary money and that’s bad because the imaginary money has value in real money and I hate this timeline.

Someone had real gold in their coffer full of gold coins, then someone convinced them that credit written down as a number on some slips of paper had the same value, that they could trust the bank’s computers with keeping track of the total value, and everyone clapped.

Banks are usually backed by federal governments, which can control trade. I’d say that’s a huge difference. Money deposited in banks is also often the product of skill or labor. It takes neither to generate crypto. I feel sorry for whoever lost their money, but right now, this is a get-rich-quick scheme for most people involved in it.

Banks are a giant scam. Have you learned nothing from 2008? It’s not that long ago.
Your fiat money is way faker than crypto.
