I tell people now and again to google "bank bail-ins" and how their deposits don't actually belong to them. Most don't get it.
I'm certainly enjoying the writing blog posts part and the interactions with the community. :)

I try to talk about MFGlobal. I tell people how lots lost their money... and people say, well, that is what happens when you gamble on the stock market... and I tell them no, it was in segregated account, one that is supposed to be more sacred than even a savings account... and they just don't believe me.
Then I tell them that people who stored gold in the vault didn't get all their gold back.
