Why Are Banks Collapsing? (SVB Explained)

In this video, we explore the reasons behind the collapse of banks using the recent case of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) as an example. I explain the factors that lead to bank failure, such as excessive risk-taking and inadequate capital reserves, and how these issues played a role in SVB's collapse.

They have no choice but to say that it's best to wait calmly because only the first will be able to save their money, and yet there are trillions in various funds, etc., which can only go to banks over time if they still exist..

All you have to do is pay off those multi-trillion-dollar debts? preferably with gold or silver, do not take new ones? and liquidate those even bigger debts off the balance sheet? But that's not possible, and real gold and silver are practically non-existent. Funny they say things are better than 2008?, better debt several times bigger and there is practically no collateral, and inflation is growing..
