“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.

Hmm, still can be fun:

"Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected."

My favourite sentence:

"The U.S. banking system remains resilient and on a solid foundation, [...]"

Markets will be fawning over a bailout and attempt to pump liquidity in for a couple days. In the end it’s high time preference greed. Weakness all around.

business as usual

Built to destroy.

Kind of dishonest to write Bank bailout in the main note but acknowledge that is a costumer bailout in the sub-note.

I understand that there is an intrinsic hate towards banks and how the government fucked up the financial system, but the SVB depositors were victims of US banking regulations. We are talking about early stage startups with probably 20.000 employees, working on new tech that surely you would enjoy in the next 3-5 years and will bring the US much more returns than letting them die rn.

That is how monetary expansionism works. You need the boom and bust cycles. And in the bust cycles you need unemployment. All of this are introduced by the current monetary system.
