BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion. The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH. If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history. We expect more information shortly.

We need more community banks, not fewer. Before the 2008 financial crisis: New banks were frequently approved with $5–12 million (sometimes as low as $7–10 million). After the Great Financial Crisis and Dodd-Frank: Regulators roughly doubled typical requirements (to around $20 million or more). Analyses put average or median post-crisis figures in the $25–32 million range. Throughout the past decade, industry advisers and regulators have consistently treated roughly $20 million as the practical floor for most community banks, with many proposals required to raise more (often $25–50 million depending on size, market, and risk). There has been no general reduction in this expectation. Every previous wave of consolidation has been met with de novo bank creation. Community banks have always “disappeared” but new ones have always been formed to take their place. The dearth of community banks is not organic. It is bureaucratically engineered.

KINDNESS. Before the D-Day landing, Ike (General Eisenhower) spent hours walking among the troops, looking them directly in the eye, ex exchanging s,mall talk. Little thing? Big thing? I call it the latter by many country miles.

Additionally, we would have on average around 150 new bank charters per year. I don’t think we have had a total of 150 new charters since 2008.
