Bank holidays are coming, and traditional finance operations come to a halt. You will find that although traditional applications can be used, transaction settlement is often delayed due to holidays, and capital flow is forced to be postponed.

But in the on-chain world, it's a different story. No need to wait for bank hours, no fear of holiday interruptions—24/7 nonstop operation is the true face of modern capital flow. Cryptocurrency and blockchain bring this new financial experience of being available anytime and settling instantly.

Free yourself from the shackles of traditional finance and embrace the freedom of decentralized finance. This is the wallet of the new era.

Really, every holiday the banks shut down, and I have to hold onto my money. On the blockchain, it's all good, transfers continue as usual on weekends, now that's true freedom. The traditional financial system is indeed outdated; holiday delays in funds seriously impact efficiency. But wait, being on the blockchain 24/7 isn't completely risk-free either, you still need to watch out for flash loans and such. This wave definitely hits the pain points of traditional finance, but on the other hand, stablecoins still need banks. Sometimes looking at it from a different perspective, the problem isn't necessarily the banks themselves. Bank holidays allow people to relax, but I find myself more exhausted with nonstop on-chain transfers haha. But on the other hand, real-time settlement is indeed very attractive. No one dares to say that on-chain is absolutely safer than traditional finance, but the 24/7 advantage is real. The arbitrage opportunities during holidays are gone; whether it's good or bad depends on how you use it. Setting aside the hype, the most practical thing is—when will moms be able to conveniently use on-chain finance? That would be the real win.

Bank holidays can really cause people to lose their money; every time, you have to wait until they open to access your funds. Who can tolerate this kind of treatment when transactions on the chain are instant?

During the holidays, banks are sleeping, but the on-chain money is still moving... Why is the gap so huge?

Really, the bank holidays are the worst, money gets stuck in the account and can't be moved... On the blockchain, that's never an issue, it's incredibly satisfying.

Haha, really, during bank holidays I can't move my money, but on-chain transactions are instant. The difference is huge. --- Traditional finance is like this—just cards and done. Luckily, the blockchain comes to the rescue. --- 24/7 availability is truly amazing; no more worrying about bank hours. --- Honestly, once you're used to on-chain transactions, bank holidays just make you want to laugh. --- The word "shackle" is perfect; that's exactly how it feels. --- You're right, I get anxious waiting for the banks to open. --- Decentralization is truly awesome; not being controlled by holidays feels so great. --- On-chain is a whole era faster than traditional finance, there's no comparison. --- In the past, holidays meant being locked out; now I can trade anytime, and my quality of life has directly improved. --- Who else is still using traditional finance? What's the point, really?

The bank is on holiday, but I still run on the chain. This is the real way to go.

Bank holiday card settlement is correct, but does on-chain 24/7 necessarily mean making money? When I was bottom-fishing at a high last year, I was losing money nonstop for 24 hours... From a technical perspective, the MACD showed a golden cross, but a black swan caused a direct break below the support level, and the stop-loss didn't hold. Now every time I see bank holiday delayed settlements, I think of those days when I was trapped... By the way, if it really needs to be available at any time, there must also be liquidity.
