No atheists in foxholes and no libertarians during bank runs.

Maybe I’m a crypto rube, but can anyone explain why you would keep deposits in a bank like this?

I thought the whole point was the decentralization, you keep your money in your own wallet and you don’t need a bank (and a number of banks/exchanges have failed spectacularly).

When I dabbled in it, I bought currency on coin base but then immediately transferred it to my personal wallet and out of any third party control. Only transfer out to exchange.

Have dealt with them, but you’d have to be in or in the orbit of the startup scene.

In my case it was connecting them to a very capital intensive startup that was also being cuddled. SVB was interested to invest, the startup went bust two months ago after burning through 70mln.
