The Day Depositors Became Bank Robbers
In September 2022, something extraordinary happened in Lebanon-ordinary citizens armed themselves and stormed banks. But they weren't stealing. They were desperately trying to withdraw their own frozen savings. One woman held up a bank with a toy gun just to access funds for her sister's cancer treatment. When your own money becomes inaccessible, the entire concept of banking collapses into absurdity. This isn't an isolated incident. Across Nigeria, 13% inflation has pushed millions toward cryptocurrency. Egyptians watched their life savings lose half their value overnight through currency devaluations. Even in wealthy nations, European and Japanese bonds offered negative yields-you literally paid governments to hold your money. Meanwhile, contradictory Federal Reserve policies triggered historic bank failures. Something fundamental is broken, and billions of people feel it in their bones even if they can't articulate why. Our global financial system, built on outdated technology and questionable promises, is showing cracks that can no longer be ignored.
