      Banks usually hold other people’s money.

        Banks are insured, along with all accounts under $250k. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had to worry about going over the FDIC limit.

          I mean, I’m not taking sides or anything but isn’t the FDIC a government agency and any insurance money used to cover thefts ultimately come from taxpayers?

            No, because the US federal government has monetary sovereignty using a Fiat currency, meaning the US can pay for it without extracting it from taxes.
