Description
Bank failure warning crypto holders should hear: Japan's 3,400-branch outage and Paraguay's Ueno Bank collapse, and what to hold as backup.
Two bank disruptions in one video. In Japan, a Shinken joint system outage halted ATMs, branch counters and internet banking, with 3,400 branches affected. The stated cause was a communications equipment failure, with no unauthorized access detected. The speaker disagrees and gives his opinion that it was a cyber attack. In Paraguay, the central bank moved to take over Ueno Bank, a digital lender tied to the president, and the bank went into bank resolution. The speaker says over 3,000,000 customers, about 60% of the adult population, had no access to their money, although the money did not appear to be lost.
He treats both events as a bank failure warning for crypto holders. His argument: the crypto use case is for when banks are closed and the power is still on. He also covers bail ins, why he says to have cash on hand in small denominations, where silver fits as a later layer of protection, and why he is skeptical of gold for bartering. The last part covers Elizabeth Warren, reported as expected to lead the Senate Banking Committee, and why he thinks that is bad for crypto.
Everything on the cause of the outages, the Warren outlook and the January prediction is the speaker's opinion.
