We're doing it again. We're bailing out banks. Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin because of exactly this reason back in 2008.

First bailout since Bitcoin came to life. Bring it

Of this size

Yet they're refusing to call it bail outs and saying they're not doing what they're doing.🤦‍♂️

"We need to do a bailout without saying the b word. We need some word salad!"

😂 exactly!

There’s only one B word, though.

If they try, they’ll say it three times. You know what happens after.

How long before the auto industry and airline industry get in line for more government handouts? Maybe they wait for the recession to hit first? It seems like it is about time the taxpayers hand more money over to them, as well.

“After receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and consulting with the President, Secretary Yellen approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, in a manner that fully protects all depositors. Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.”

So if I was a depositor at SVB an I read that I’d be withdrawing everything at 9am Monday morning, and I’d be expecting everyone else to do the same. How does this statement fix anything?

They're going to print money to make sure you get your money?

How does that square with no losses being borne by taxpayers?

No clue. Magic.

In hope that this action will make you not want to get your money

What would you do?

Everything I can to allocate at least 88% of my cash on hand from the bank to selected investments and assets

Should we short $svib?

Narrative will blame crypto and push CBDC. The sheep will follow

Anyone had doubts?

Of course. It was always the plan. This time will be different though. Now we have Bitcoin.

Did you really believe that they won't bailout the banks? 😉

"strengthening public confidence in our banking system" do you think that means a fixed supply and no fractional reserve lending? Otherwise, I still don't trust it.
