I always felt bitcoin was more about replacing paper money than replacing banks. Banks give you interests, Bitcoin just sits there and the amount (in bitcoins) never changes.

I don't know what they say, but I do now they have a systemd-shim package that you can use to emulate systemd functionality when you don't use it as the init system. And the sysvinit package hasn't been removed.
