It is so vital that you get your cash out of the banks and into an asset like Real Estate, Forex/Cryptocurrency more than ever! Don't say you didn't know either because people have been talking about the value reduction of the dollar for years now. I think we will see a domino from this SVB mess. Major players are getting wrecked including Airbnb, Opendoor, Roku, even Shark Kevin O'Leary has lost millions. This is another reason I like diversification with fractionalizing to spread out the risk.
