If people panic, as you predict, and rush to pull all their cash out of otherwise healthy banks, because they have lost their faith in the banking system...
Why would those same people ever put their faith, not to mention their cash in a digital system?
And don't you think "those in power" already realize that if they can't maintain the public's trust in the existing bank system, they'll never be able to convince the public to switch over to a new, digital system...where the public won't even be able to hold on to solid (though worthless) coins and paper currency?
I predict an economic slump for a few years as well we some new bogus government policy to give the illusion that they give a $h1t.
Before that bank collapsed in Cali they gave all the executives bonuses.
The Bank Term Funding Program was announced Sunday evening after a third bank failed since last Wednesday. There are now no limits to deposit protection. The previous cap was $250,000 per customer. Prior to the financial crisis of 2008, it was $100,000.
