My banks are like that too. Of course I can't speak to anyone who might influence that decision. Steam has better security than almost any other account I have. I appreciate them for that but it also seems ludicrous to me that my video games are more secure than my bank accounts.

I keep my money in Monero. That way, it's me who has to be targeted instead of an institution. And if I fuck up and lose it, it's my own damn fault.

I have some crypto, some stocks, etc. For many things I still need standard banking though. Crypto just isn't there yet. Maybe someday... But having money distributed is still smart either way, so I have many baskets for my eggs.

I keep a little bit in the bank, like enough to pay my bills and such, but any extra I put into Monero.
