I asked this as a reply, but figured I’d ask everyone out there too.

So, as I expect we’ll see many banks fold up, where should I keep a chunk of fiat for the next 2-12 months?

Is there a way to tell if a bank is more solvent than another?

I’m about to sell a house I flipped so getting a chunk of US Space credits >$250k. This will be used as operating capital for my business and then to purchase some new remodel project when I come across one. Even if the government covers all depositors (or I split between banks to stay within FDIC limits) if I’m in a bank when it goes, I fear there will be a period my funds are inaccessible as it gets bailed out. Because my time preference on this is measured in months but I’m not sure how many months, I’m concerned about the volatility of BTC to keep if all there (not to mention, I’m not even sure where to do a transfer that large in and out of BTC).

I would think it’s good to be aware of the risk of capital asset forfeiture with that much cash on hand. Make a detailed paper trail, give backup copies offline to someone you trust if you can.

Was just listening to an episode of the Wealthsteading Podcast about this. https://wealthsteading.com/410-2/

In short, he's mostly in cash right now, parked in money market funds. #nfa #dyor

Yeah I listened to that the other day. Gives a good idea on what vehicle to use, I'm still concerned about what institution to park it with/through. I'd hate to get the "All depositors will be covered, we just need 3 months to investigate." type BS if the bank I choose goes belly up.

Yeah, wouldn't we all? 😅 I guess the best mitigation there would be to maintain multiple baskets.
