    Its even better than just that though. Letting Thiel, Luckey and crowd open up a crypto bank, and pretending like its real currency, means that all the bank deposit insurance pools / regulatory safe guards are inching open to the Billionaire shit-heads who intentionally crashed SVB specifically to get to this position. Standard tech practice of breaking things, obfuscating why things broke and then claiming to be the only ones smart enough to fix it, while stealing everything in reach and destroying otherwise stable industries. SVB? No, no, it wasn’t because Thiel encouraged all his tech bro buddies to pull money at once from SVB to trigger a liquidity crisis, noooo… it couldn’t’ve been income inequality and an aggressively destructive group of power mad tech bros acting without accountability… it was because the bank wasn’t using crypto! Trust us, we’re rich and contributing to your campaign!

    So it’s not just the people who fuck around with crypto who are gonna find out. It’s anyone with savings, as the tech fascists are being given a path to steal all the money from any safety net that exists. Those crypto rug pulls are moving into position to drain things like the FDIC in the states, and things like CDIC/CUDIC in Canada… and similar funds in most jurisdictions that are following suit on this stupid approach.
