The #SVB collapse is not the first nor the last failure of the fractional reserve banking system.
Most think we pay banks a fee to store and secure our wealth.
The reality:
We pay them a fee and they keep a fraction of the deposits on hand and speculate with the rest in financial assets.
- If that gamble is successful we don't share the profits.
- If that gamble is unsuccessful we absorb the loss and they get bailed out.
Opt-out of a system filled in with political favouritism.
Opt-into a trustless apolitical system that has no counterparty risk.
