Correct me if I'm wrong, but FDIC insurance is mainly to protect individuals / small businesses from lose their entire livelihood, they're unlikely to have more

Correct me if I'm wrong, but FDIC insurance is mainly to protect individuals / small businesses from lose their entire livelihood, they're unlikely to have more than $250k in their bank account at any given time. If you do, you're most likely in/above the 1% and will survive by other means if you lose everything above $250k (or, rightly be "punished" for not having any other survival mechanism)
