I'm saying it's quite possible the coins themselves would be a better investment at this point.

Casino chips aren't going to significantly increase in value. If Bitcoin succeeds then Bitcoins will. If Bitcoin doesn't succeed, then neither will the "banks".

But building a decent and trusted infrastructure of "banks" will improve Bitcoin's chances of success. Just holding a given quantity of coins on your laptop will not.

Oh I agree completely. If you have a significant amount of Bitcoin you should do everything you can to make Bitcoin a sucess.
