I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

    Pretty sure banks have a pretty good track record of “keeping your money safe”. Why the fuck would anybody trust banks to keep their money safe if they can’t keep your money safe?

    I don’t really understand why that statement is even on there?

    Unless you mean to argue some anonimity point, which I could agree with considering e.g. Monero would be more anonymous than a bank.

    But safe? I’d say the bank is quite safe to store money.

      Money in the bank can be seized and frozen for all sorts of reasons. If you’re in the USA, then police can charge your money with a crime even if you haven’t broken any laws. It’s safe until it’s not.

      Banks keeping your money safe depends on what country you live in and how much its government has regulated them and/or provided some sort of backup in the case of a run or the bank going out of business.
