I keep my money spread out across multiple accounts with multiple banks up to the insured limit. Because yes, banks can fail.

Basic reading comprehension failure, that is not what GP is arguing.

He's arguing that if your live data lives in the cloud your backup copy should not be in the cloud and vice versa.

Insured by who? Not governments. Governments collapse all the time. The only safe place to keep it is in your own custom bank at home that you built yourself.

And that money is worthless if the issuing government collapses. There is no ultimate security.
