Sounds like SVB's holdings weren't vey risky

I have to wonder if any crimes were committed to create this bank run, this doesn't seem very organic

I feel like the underlying problem with all these bank crisis is too much stuff is on loan/credit now.

This desire to keep everyone in perpetual debit has put the banks in a place of constant crisis. Like I said before, 4% interest rates shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s that interest rates were so low for so long that just piling on credit seemed like a good idea.

On the one hand it's fascinating to see a social media caused bank run, but on the other hand, it's scary to see the real damage caused by social media. I hate to see the damage a nation state might be able to pull off now that Twitter has gutted all of their safe guards
we've been seeing the damage of social media for like the past 4+ years, and its just heating up with A.I. and deepfakes.
