4) Banks get their privileges revoked and they are no longer an oligopoly with privileges of being the only way to store dollars legally, and the only investment institutions who get to gamble their customers money while the government is insuring their loses but does nothing about their gains.
The Fed releases a digital dollar that you can bank without needing to be a part of this oligopoly. Banks are forced to give better terms to be attractive again, terms that will make up for the risk of the bank using your money. Deposits are no longer guaranteed because being in a bank is now a deliberate choice instead of something you're forced to do despite having money.
Banking is not competitive in any way. The small players are very risky to bank at. The big players get to be riskier because they are protected by the government.
