One regional bank is not an indicator of a national financial collapse.

And shyt, that’s those peoples problem if the funds are seized, but it sounds like the issue is with the bank itself. Until Monday rolls around it’s all just speculation.

Insured up to $250k? That’s any bank in the country. Smart people? Don’t keep more than $250k in one account, or keep your money in a bank account in the Bahamas or Switzerland.

I will also say, I believe these people can purchase 3rd party insurance for accounts that high, but I may be mistaken
It's not just one bank.

Silvergate capital collapsed this week

Rumors Signature bank of NY is about to go down too.

Plus several other banks hit


Billions gone. Poof

Good summary here:






Again, as with most things reddit and social media, double check the poster.

This poster here is an adult with 20+ years of experience as a software engineer and not some college kid hypothesizing about the economy or some loon babbling about an economic downfall of society.

You even got 13 year olds out there on these sites trying to "break it down" to sit at the adult table trying to feel important.

Seeing way too many people running with narratives they read online posted by 16-21 year olds who absolutely know crap about the world.


Yep the FED/FDIC will step in just like they did during 2008/2009 with bank bailouts and just like they did in the 80s with the savings and loan scandal. I mean this ain't nothing new in terms of the FDIC handling situations like this.

However this may cause Powell to chill with the interest rate hikes. Cause basically the increase in interest rates is the reason this bank basically went under. So interest rates raised, which means less people are taking out loans so the bank can't make money on interest rates.

The bank has investments in the market and because of the interest rate hikes the markets tanks. So the bank can't sell their investments at a loss. The Bank has government bonds, but bought bonds before the interest hikes so the bonds only pay at an interest rate of 2%. No one will buy the bond cause now bond interest rates are at 5 percent. So the bank is stuck with the bonds.

Another thing I was reading that supposedly a bill was passed to help prevent bank bail outs and now its a bail in. Basically means private investors are used to bail in the banks which could just mean the FDIC will work with other larger banks to take over the assets of this bank.

All in all the government will resolve this. They are not going to let this become some massive contagion like you see in Crypto. For the fools that don't know a massive contagion from the banking industry that originates from the US has the ability to take down the entire global market because when inflation hits globally many countries put their money in the US market and USD (US dollars) because our money is much more stable (not to mention how other countries buy US bonds and sell those bonds for US money because our money is stable and US bonds are considered safe investments because the US government is one of the few in the world that does not default on their loans).

In 2020, the Fed reduced Banks' reserve requirement to 0%, and hasn't raised it yet. Hopefully this causes the Fed to reinstate the old requirements. Its also a great way to reduce the money supply and slow inflation without raising interest rates further.
It's insane how many disastrous events this man has caused
