This is why Bitcoin will take over the world. Good money drives out bad.

Someone compared cryptocurrencies to the early stages of the internet, that basically sums it up in a positive way. A future where people have a real say on whatever is called money without the need to centralize it.

Given that, one needs to remember then to keep your balance at all the banks well below the insured amounts.  If you need to have multiple accounts and/or accounts outside the EU to do so, that would be prudent.  The problem there is that as of now it doesn't appear that the EU (or US or ...) would aggregate accounts from different banks and only insure the amount of to the limit (e.g. 90,000 at 10 different banks combined would be over the limit), but I would not put it past the power-hungry politicians to do so at some point if needed.

Yeah, that's just great. So you have company with say 10 milion euro revenue annually. You need to buy equipment for 1 milion. So you are going to disperse that through 11 accounts? ORLY Roll Eyes

It certainly is not ideal, but the alternative is the chance of what happened to Zeroday that started this thread.  ;-)  

An option is to perhaps use a single account that is based outside the EU or in one of the more stable EU countries that does not yet seem likely to do a bail-in any time soon.  There are certainly countries that seem more likely to do one that others.

What "news"? The money is lost and they don't give any information to where it is or how he can get it back.

Money is completely lost. There is no chance to get it back. EU just fucked all of us and the whole Cyprus.
Some asshole lawyers charged Cyprus robbery victims $10k for filing a claim, but all claims were rejected by supreme court confirming that robbing bank's depositor is normal business practice in EUROZONE.

The only thing people do when their bank accounts are stolen is complaining, e.g. by banging on pots and pans (Argentina 2001) and writing NO on their hands (Cyprus 2013). As long as there are only benign protests banksters and politicians will keep on stealing. Roll Eyes


Your bank account is still seized. What are you going to do about it?

Rebuild the nation from scratch with a revolution from the grassroots?
Rebuild the economy using Libertarian roots
Break the EU pact
Launch an independent nation that accepts bitcoin as primary currency
Create an army to control it
Huh
