It won't become better. Promised.

But worse.

Pessimistic as always Sky.

If I were a bank, I'd have someone or something screening all incoming E-mail.
You can fix the machines but, you can't fix stupid in the chair in front of the keyboard.
Banks aren't too worried about it if the funds are insured.

[STEED]

Dose not mean much too them, Banks are always screwing people left right & centre.

Optimists' pessimism is realists' realism.

BTW, pessimists were found in psychological research to be more successful in work and projects, and also often reported greater inner balance and happiness with their life. Because they were more prepared for eventualities, and also got disappointed less often. - Freely recalled by me after reading an according study three or four years ago.

The digitalization of money not only allows the state total control and auto-robbery of private wealth, but amkes "classic" bank robbery like this easier, and thus more likely. The "paper" in "paper money" gets deleted from the formula.

Inflation of money in circulation is being established digitally for the most anyway.

Its all totally FUBAR.

Optimism is a lack of information.

That is true. But you're paranoid. And paranoid people are not neither successful, balanced and as you shown more than enough times how bitter you are, you're certainly not happy in life.

And all your arrogant, pretentious crap on this forum, serving nothing more but spreading your ignorance and hate and sugar coated nazism and when you hit a brick wall made of level headed members you start spewing arrogant rhetoric about how you're the sole rational hero and all of us are barbarians. And that coming from someone that said he'd ignore a family in danger just because they're muslims (I'm a red cross volunteer, how are you better then me again).

And I'd like to play a game of sugarcoating insults against you to evade the mods, ein Spiel du so geliebst zu Spielen, but like you did with August, it's only a matter of time before you take the cowards way out and block me.

And on topic: cyber attacks are nothing new. They'll get worse and cyber defense will get better. Money is insured and the only thing that is at a loss are the insurance companies.

You have insulted me and defamed me and made false claims about me often enough now, Betonov, and on more than just two or three occasions. Your self-esteem seems to not ask for much.

And on topic: (...)

Ah, finally. At the very end. Was that so difficult...

[Jimbuna]

I doubt the banks will be seriously bothered seeing as how they'll more than likely be adequately insured.

[Skybird]

And where do insurances get their money from...?

No way that money could ever just rain from heaven or made from nothing, Jim. Somebody pays. And the net end payer - is neither the bank, nor the insurance.

I didn't defame you, you defame yourself every time you start typing.
I only ride in when you get you ''better than all of you'' attitude when people disagree with your auto-defament which is on more than just two or three occasions.

I love this one:

I must be a threat to the vulgar consensus, else I would be morally even more guilty - by having adapted myself to it.

Majority of the GT crowd is called a clueless vulgar consensus.
Interesting how sugarcoating ''idiots'' is not an insult.

Whether you agree or disagree, approve or otherwise, it has been this way for quite some time now and at the present I detect no signs of that changing.

There's an all true joke in Slovenia.
An elderly lady goes to the bank to open the account. She inherited a million euros from her husband.
She asks the teller:
-is the money safe, what happens if the bank goes bust
-the money is insured and the national bank refunds you
-what if the national bank goes bust
-the government refunds you
-and if the government goes bust
-madam, if the government goes bust that will be worth that one million
