WTF !
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratio to zero across all deposit tiers, effective March 26, 2020. The aim of this reduction was to jump-start the economy by allowing banks to use additional liquidity to lend to individuals and businesses.

I think I've read that somewhere. That's crazy, if true. Saving money in a piggybank seems less riskier than leaving your money in a bank. We are living in unprecedented times.

Fractional-reserve banking.
- You deposit your hard earned fiat into your bank account.
- The bank lends out 90% of your funds and keep a 10% reserve.
- The bank earns interest on loan.
- This cycle repeats with the person borrowing the money from the bank.
The interest earned/created by banks is how they create their monopoly currency.
