Is it safe to keep your money in bank?

[bitcoin-shark]

Generally, keeping your money in a bank account is safe, as most banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 per owner, per bank, and per account category. However, if you have more than $250,000 in deposit accounts, it is recommended to deposit it in different account categories or to open accounts with different banks to protect your money. While there is no guarantee that a bank will never fail, the FDIC will ensure that depositors get their money back if a bank fails

When it comes to security, centralization is safer than decentralization.  At the Bank your money is safer because they use a centralized system where they control all incoming money.  If there is news about bankrupt banks, very, very little.  Many banks also have deposit insurance institutions.  If we talk about decentralization, we are talking about where the system does not control the money, but the owners control their own money.  In my opinion it is quite risky especially with low knowledge about digital security.

there is no safe place to keep money even in your own home,
however if depositing money in the bank there is little guarantee if our money is lost by bank error and they can trace it most likely back,

[naikturun]

no one guarantees that saving your money in a bank is safe, but most people in this world save money in a bank because it is a habit for people to keep money in a bank, in fact besides banks there are many other options such as gold, silver or commodities other.

The bank is a place to save money, not a place to invest. I keep money in the bank because I believe keeping money in the bank is a safe place. I get profit every month from bank interest yield, but for investment, I believe in crypto world after I invest in crypto world. profits from the results of my investment save again in the bank.

A bank is a place where bankers earn on people like you. I've always disliked the idea of someone making money out of me, while giving away only a pitiful crumb from this feast, and getting the whole pie themselves.

Accumulating money in the bank is a big stupidity, because what are you accumulating like that? Inflation? Interest rates are ridiculous in any banks and it is impossible to perceive this as an opportunity to save up. In general, money is very badly suited for accumulation and it is better to accumulate wealth in a different form.

Relly, is it safe? But what about the bankers who robbed their clients and ran away with their money?

Correct. It's a storage where we can keep our cash but that shouldn't stay there for long.

I keep money in the bank because I believe keeping money in the bank is a safe place. I get profit every month from bank interest yield, but for investment, I believe in crypto world after I invest in crypto world. profits from the results of my investment save again in the bank.

How much you're earning from their interest? They're too low compared to if you go with it on the market but then, the risk is lower, and almost got no risk at all by keeping it there.  And if this strategy works for you perfectly, there's no need for you to change it.

Keeping your money in the bank is like stocking at the bus stop, just like I have told many people who have sought my views and advice on similar topics, banks are bus stops we use our money to move from one place to another.

So bank can't be taken as a destination since with a bank you are not in control of your money and also you are vulnerable to various forms of bank injustice and inflation.

So of you are looking for the best asset safety place you should look for decentralized assets that give you total control of your money and Bitcoin is one of such assets.

It may be risky in private banks, but they attract customers with advantageous campaigns. Choosing state banks may be less risky than a private bank. We all know that nothing is guaranteed, even if the risk is small. Let's say we didn't choose banks. There are two options that come to my mind. One is bitcoin, the other is physically storing it. It's a completely optional decision. For now I prefer state banks and bitcoin.

If you do have that kind of impression and mindset then you would really be hating on why banks do exist but this is where reality do circles around and even on how we do hate up these institutions but there's no way for them to cease to exist. If you are an individual who does hate banks then you wouldnt really be saving up some fiat money into these but we cant really deny that when it comes to security of our funds the bank storage is something we do mainly consider rather than on saving up your fiat into your own house. Other ways would be making out some investment.

Just like mine on which i dont save up money much on my bank which 80% of those funds are really been put up on investment or any other ventures which it could really give some other profits
which it would be cycled and would be repeated to be used once i do accumulate enough. 20% of those fiat would really be just reserve for emergencies because we know that we cant really be
having be able to pull off  those funds anytime if there are some emergencies that do happen.

I think all savings will be related to the bank even though we have assets in crypto investment, I just choose a state bank over a private bank even though there is no guarantee that you can trust the bank completely, many cases of state banks have been abused by staff to steal customer savings for gambling and shopping. So we have to routinely review balances in bank accounts and if suspicious transactions are found, report them immediately to the bank for investigation.

I did find your logic very interesting. We really can't blame some people because they are used to the system and totally convinced that the bank is the only means of keeping their money safe. But since some of us here have gained the knowledge that it's not so, we should be extending that idea to some people outside the forum who are still in the state or have a false belief that they can't do without keeping their money in the bank.

You know what even surprises me most of the time is that some people would leave a huge amount of money in the bank for up to seven months and sometimes even more than two years mean while, there were assets they could invest in, like Bitcoin. Some months back, I read an article that was uploaded by a member on this forum about a young girl who lost a huge amount of money in her bank account to scammers, which happened to be her entire life savings. The truth was that the bank said the money is gone and they can't help her, so even the bank that people think is so safe to keep their money is not really safe. I keep some fiat but not a lot of my money in the bank for no apparent reason. 

[albon]

If it is large amounts of fiat money, banks can be safer than anywhere else or leaving them at home. Still for me, I do not prefer banks because central authorities control them, so there is no 100% security; so by converting fiat money into cryptocurrencies, I can hold them in a hardware wallet away from the exchanges so that I can guarantee the safety and security of my currencies. I can make profits from the volatility of cryptocurrencies prices, unlike fiat or a large part of the stable currencies can be held in the hardware wallet, so for me, this is the solution that I follow, which made me the main controller of my money without the control of another party.

[smile1218]

Saving money in a bank for me it is safe. I had been saving some of my money in a bank fore more than a decade now so far i have no problem in it my savings are still intact. There are also risk involve in saving in a bank, like for example you had registered in an online banking or you had bind your savings account with online shopping just be careful because a lot of phishing link via text, email, social media that once you click they will get your information and they can access your account and can get all your money in the bank without you even knowing. Do not share any OTP to anyone as well because they might change the access on your bank account.

The government gives you guarantee. It's very wrong to call that if there was no guarantee for your money when you stored in the bank. Im storing mostly of my money in bank. Here's the main concern. When you were storing your money in crypto and it was being stolen and none will able to help you. When someone was stealing your money in the bank and you can make a report to the police and it will able to catch the robber of your money. I think that this is really hard to deny.

Talking about whether or not it is safe to keep money in a bank is clear the answer is safe, why do you only see one bank that was robbed and took away customer money, isn't there a country that has solved that to what extent they have run away, the state will still look for it, but keep the money in the bank is the right decision, talking investment is clearly more profitable in crypto.

Because what happens here is that the banks keep your money and give you assurance of money back to whatever happens to them. They give you a certain percentage of storing your money but not mentioning where there use that money until such time leaks come out that the banks use our money to generate more income while giving us depositors cents, and it opened up our minds.
But despite this thing, banks can be trusted but at this time, saving is not the best option rather make a decision to invest as this is a great option when thinking about growing our money.

Even with the so called bank trust or insurance some time we can still get ditched by the bank, such that in the case of a bankruptcy and other financial crisis that could hit the bank at any time.

We have hard cases where banks seize depositors' money without any insurance covering the losses and this is what has affected people's trust in banks lately.

So decentralized asset management is the best form of financial management, and storing your money in assets such as gold and Bitcoin is the best form of saving since you will have the possibility of earning interest on your money.

Banks naturally ensure the safety of money. Generally people try to keep their hard-earned money safe. However, the situation of SVB Bank in recent times has taught people to rethink about depositing money on bank. Recently people interested in investing than saving money. Besides, I don't want to worry about keeping my money with someone else. I think investing properly is safer than saving money in the bank. However, nowadays conscious citizens accept the banking system only for the convenience of withdrawing and disbursing money. People are now gradually encouraged to invest in crypto rather than saving money in the bank.

[kevindjunaidi]

in my country so far it is still safe, but we see the case of the American bank SVB experiencing bankruptcy which is considered safe, not necessarily safe. We also have to be careful not to keep our assets in one place, stay safe.

in my opinion there is no safe place to keep our money, it's just that the risks are different, so if you keep your money in a bank it's not safe but the risk is very small for your money to be lost compared to investing in cryptocurrency, but your money can't increase if you save money in the bank (bank interest is lower than inflation), so I agree with you if we should not keep our money in just one place.
