Consolidação bancária ameaça liberdade e defende Bitcoin

A maior ameaça da crise bancária desencadeada pelo colapso deste mês do Silicon Valley Bank pode não residir na possibilidade de os depositantes perderem as suas poupanças, mas no poder de censura que os grandes bancos estão agora a acumular à medida que os clientes movimentam o seu dinheiro.

Bank Consolidation Threatens Freedom, Makes Case for Bitcoin

The biggest threat from the banking crisis triggered by this month’s collapse of Silicon Valley Bank might not lie in the potential for depositors to lose their savings but in the censorship power that massive banks are now accumulating as customers move their money.

Opinion

La consolidation bancaire menace la liberté et plaide en faveur du Bitcoin

La plus grande menace de la crise bancaire déclenchée par l’effondrement de la Silicon Valley Bank ce mois-ci ne réside peut-être pas dans la possibilité pour les déposants de perdre leur épargne, mais dans le pouvoir de censure que les grandes banques accumulent désormais à mesure que les clients déplacent leur argent.

Консолидация банков угрожает свободе и служит аргументом в пользу Bitcoin

Самая большая угроза банковского кризиса, вызванного крахом банка Кремниевой долины в этом месяце, может заключаться не в возможности вкладчиков потерять свои сбережения, а в цензурной власти, которую сейчас накапливают крупные банки, когда клиенты перемещают свои деньги.

Консолідація банків загрожує свободі, наводить аргументи на підтримку Bitcoin

Найбільша загроза банківської кризи, викликаної крахом Silicon Valley Bank цього місяця, може полягати не в тому, що вкладники можуть втратити свої заощадження, а в силі цензури, яку величезні банки зараз накопичують, коли клієнти переміщують свої гроші.

Esta crisis definirá el futuro del dinero

El reciente colapso de tres bancos de alto perfil (Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Bank y Signature Bank) ha provocado salidas de capital preocupantes en cientos de bancos regionales. Ahora que la Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos está creando un nuevo mecanismo de respaldo por valor de 2 billones de dólares, los ecos de las crisis de 2008 y 2013 son fuertes.

This Crisis Will Define the Future of Money

The recent collapse of three high-profile banks - Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank - has caused worrying outflows at hundreds of regional banks. Now, with the U.S. Federal Reserve creating a new backstop facility reportedly worth $2 trillion, the echoes of crises in 2008 and 2013 are loud.
