RE: The Crypt0 Minute: Tether Is In Trouble With CFTC / Carlos Matus (Bitconnect Guy) Is Back!

in #crypto-news7 years ago (edited)

Go to any decent sized city in the US or Canada and almost 100% of the time the 5 tallest buildings are all banks. Guess what folks, you pays for those things, and guess what the bank only holds a fraction of the money needed to back those deposits (~10%), and guess what the FDIC only has enough money to fund ~3% of the deposits if the bank were ever to go bust. But hey, lets all ignore that... and instead freak the fuck out about Bitfinex cuz why not right?

Sort:  

Haha exactly, like if it comes back and they have 0 dollars, somehow magically stole it all I'll get it, but I bet they are at least decently backed where-as banks just present the illusion that they have the money. Probably because they do have the money, your money that they took through interest rates for money they created out of thin air.

Ta Da!
