I was thinking how much I dislike banks. my salary just increased recently to six figures and Ive realized how easily we're tied to these big banks. I got a chase account but Im likely to be moving to a smaller one. I also going to hold more cash/ assets from now on. I read this comment somewhere and wondering what your thoughts on getting from under the boot of the banks.
>but I think any small bank would also work. That at least gets you out of the vertically integrated behemoths like Chase, Wells Fargo, BofA, etc. You will not be able to obtain a privacy level in this world that justifies not having a bank account - unless you isolate yourself to a shack in the back reaches of Montana.
>If you try to go unbanked, I think that you are going to ultimately wish you hadn't. I have friends from mideast and african cultures who tend to keep either cash, gold, jewelry or gemstones. I think that is more practical and safer than crypto, however, every single one of my friends personally know someone who lost it all. Either the hidden box got stolen from their car or house, or a fire took it and in one case, civil forfeiture (police theft, but to be fair they were dealing drugs - don't do that with $50k of diamonds in your car)
>Just make sure the small bank is insured (FDIC or NCUA) and keep less than the insured amount in there. For amounts over that, get an investment account otherwise inflation is stealing you blind.
