> People like Jason Calcanis were screaming on Twitter like the world was going to collapse and that the contagion would take down regional banks hurting ordinary consumers.

If the 18th-largest bank in the country were to be allowed to collapse, with depositors losing money, why would any non-insane depositor keep their money in the 17th, or the 19th largest bank?

You could follow this line of reasoning to conclude that the only safe place to deposit your money would be a too-big-to-fail bank. And nobody wants to see that.

FDIC insures accounts to $250k. Why would any sane and rational person put more than $250k in any one account?
