Putting your money in a bank is just a conditional IOU from the bank to you. In other words, it's no longer your money and they don't have to give it back to you if they don't want to. Monero solves this.
So how do you get your physical cash into a digital crypto currency without having a bank account to turn your cash into digital cash or a place to hold your crypto currency as cash when you need to buy groceries or something?
Cash by mail for getting in w/o a bank and giftcard services for groceries. I try when possible to seek out people who will take Monero on https://xmrbazaar.com and prioritize buying from them before resorting to a giftcard. My options for direct purchases are expanding slowly but surely. Having less than 1% inflation and falling helps too.
Edit: Monero will never have over 1% inflation again
Base money supply actually. There are 18.4 million units as a soft cap and then from then on every two minutes point six new Monero exist. This is to replace those lost through loss of private keys, etc. But is low enough inflation to keep the supply from massively growing and losing value.
