With a banking system in which your bank could be taken over by the government at any moment, who in the world would trust this system.

You dont understand much about what it means to be federally insured bank do you?
 
Credit union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A credit union is a member-owned financial cooperative, democratically controlled by its members, and operated for the purpose of promoting thrift, providing credit at competitive rates, and providing other financial services to its members.[1][2][3]

Many credit unions also provide services intended to support community development[4] or sustainable international development on a local level,[5] and could be considered community development financial institutions.

Worldwide, credit union systems vary significantly in terms of total system assets and average institution asset size,[6] ranging from volunteer operations with a handful of members to institutions with several billion dollars in assets and hundreds of thousands of members.[7]
 
Imagine what would happen to the banks if most people joined a credit union instead of a bank?
 
I have my cash split between several banks so it is all insured.

Not if the U.S. defaults on its debt it isn't.

If the US defaults then the cash will not be worth much. Then I fall back to my physical gold in a lockbox.

You won't be able to get it when the bank closes its doors. Besides it won't be worth much anyway. It can't be eaten, made into clothes or a house, or used to kill a person or animals. No one is going to give you $1700 worth of groceries for one ounce of shiny metal when the shit hits the fan.

Yep. I have my check direct deposited and the day it is I go and take all the cash out of the bank...I don't have a debit card or checks. If I ain't got cash that means I ain't got it.

If you are having money moved through a bank then you are using the banking system.
You should read the article sometime. The actual news is that people are too poor or have too bad credit to use traditional banking, so are using expensive check cashing, payday loan, pawnshop,etc services. It is part of the Obama Economy that people are pushed out of traditional banking.

Can you point to a time when gold lost all value?

It is screamingly obvious you did not read your own link. You saw a headline which fit into your Federal Reserve conspiracy mindset and failed to understand what the article was actually about.

Americans aren't "opting out" because they don't trust banks. They are "opting out" because they are fucking broke!

In the aftermath of one of the worst recessions in history, more Americans have limited or no interaction with banks, instead relying on check cashers and payday lenders to manage their finances, according to a new federal report.

Not only are these Americans more vulnerable to high fees and interest rates, but they are also cut off from credit to buy a car or a home or pay for college, the report from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said.

If only President Obama had done something about the economy in 2006.

Never.

I said it wouldn't be worth "much".

Do you understand English?

Though I can guarantee you'd be better off taking an oz. of gold and buying $1700 worth of ammunition with it and saving that than you would be saving the gold and waiting until after doomsday.

If only President Obama had done something about the economy in 2006.
He had the opportunity to do something about Fannie/Freddie as a senator and fumbled it.
He did do something about the economy in 2009. He made it much worse. This is part of the result.
