have you read the financials of the banks you bank with? have you read the source code of every app/other software that you use?

I know how much money I have at risk and how much is insured. It would be pretty irresponsible for me to not and just assume someone will step in and give me their money if I lose mine.

I'm personally a conservative investor, which means amongst other things I forgo notional returns by making safer investments. So it definitely makes my angry to see people that had a less responsible money management strategy get to participate in all the upside and not have to take the downside.
