But any reason to believe this particular bank is in trouble?

it is in eurosystem isnt it?

If you mean in eurozone (countries paying with euro) then yes.

That's what how the call it.
Then you are allegedly safe up to 100K per account... for now...
EDIT:This may apply only for Euros though, not sure about foreign currency

But the real question should be is your account at Bitstamp, even when is fiat, whetehr USD or Euro, considered a "bank account" and under the same protections as someone with say a checking account at that same Slovenia Bank? I don't know the exact answer but my guess would be no. You do not technically have a bank account at the Slovenian Bank. Bitstamp does. Bitstamp holds money in your name under their account, most likely commingled with other peoples funds.

Bitstamp's bank is Unicredit banka Slovenija in Ljubljana, a subsidiary of Unicredit Bank Austria.

So is that an Austrian bank or Slovenian bank?

It's a Slovenian bank, but the risk of it getting into trouble is lower because it's an Austrian bank subsidiary.
I don't know specifics, but not all banks in Slovenia are in trouble.

That doesnt answer my question, i wanna hold it there in fiat and wait for a nice btc price, just for "in case of a massive dip" so i can catch it.

There was a thread about the slovenian bank situation here somewhere, cant find it nonetheless.

Right... so you use a Slovenian bank but will trust a bunch of greedy anonymous fucks to give you advice on how to deal with it.

I'll see you at the soup kitchen. I'll be volunteering, of course.

If I ever had that amount of money just laying around, I'd store it in Bitcoins anyway.

You can move the BTC to any other exchange or online wallet in seconds, no matter what's going on in your country. I know you want to save the fiat in case you can get a better deal, but long-term holders never lose.

Hello

i want to ask, how the situation with slovenian banks is looking like these days... There were some possibilities of default or bail-ins...

Im asking because i would like to transfer around $1200 to Bitstamp exchange and keep it there for maybe even several months in the form of fiat $, the reason is i want to have money ready for BTC price drops (i belive there could be some). But im quite worried to leave the $ in a slovenian bank account for so long due to the state of their banks...

Hows the situation looking currently please with slovenian banks...? Is it a wise thing to leave around $ 1200 sitting in Bitstamp Slovenian bank account?
