Credit card interest rates are outrageously high, but simply setting an interest rate cap doesn't solve the problem at all.
The real root cause lies here: the credit market is monopolized by a few institutions, and competition is severely lacking. Each bank operates independently, leaving users with no choice.
What's the way out? Break down this wall. Build a more open and transparent lending market, allowing any qualified lender to participate in competition. Once competition is activated, customers will have real bargaining power—the interest rates will naturally become reasonable. This is how the market should look.

Monopoly is the root cause; setting interest rate caps is merely a temporary fix and doesn't address the fundamental issue. We need to allow more players to enter the market.

Monopoly is the real culprit. The interest rate cap is just a temporary fix and doesn't address the root cause. Opening up market competition is the only way to truly bring prices down, and this logic is sound.

The monopoly game that banks have played for so many years should have been broken long ago. I support the idea of opening up the lending market, but can it really be implemented? Do the regulators have the courage?

Monopoly is just a tumor; banks make money lying down, who the hell still wants to cut interest rates?

Breaking the monopoly is the real solution; otherwise, the interest rate cap is just a temporary fix... Opening up the market so everyone can participate in competition is the only way to truly force those vampire banks out.

Monopoly banks are really unappealing; it's better to go directly on-chain. Decentralized lending should have been popularized long ago.
