Thanks. So we're talking about banking apps and DRM-protected streaming apps.

Using banking apps on a phone is just asking for theft, regardless of whether the phone is rooted/tainted or running a typically insecure stock environment. That includes cryptocurrency.

Why would I trust banks? They're leeches. Predatory lending, anyone? And if they manage to woo everyone with the convenience of mobile payments, they'll have total transactional surveillance, and every little "public service" will cost money, which will be sucked out of your account automatically the instant you use it.
