How can new Industry 4.0 technologies, including artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics, be helpful in the credit risk management process of cryptocurrency lending?
Some commercial and investment banks are already creating their cryptocurrencies. Some investment funds are also allocating part of their funds for the purchase of certain investment financial instruments and other investment assets as part of building their investment prortfolio to the purchase of selected cryptocurrencies. It may therefore be that in the future, financial or para-financial institutions will be established that will accept selected cryptocurrencies for deposits and, on the other hand, will also lend cryptocurrencies. Related to this issue will be an increase in the level of institutionalisation of cryptocurrency trading platform markets. As part of a potential increase in the level of formalisation of procedures and institutionalisation of markets in which citizens and businesses use cryptocurrencies, supervisory institutions should also be created, thanks to which the level of security of the use of cryptocurrencies should increase and also the level of investment risk of investing in cryptocurrencies should decrease significantly. Thus, with a higher level of security in the use of cryptocurrencies, more citizens will be willing to use cryptocurrencies both as payment instruments and as alternative investment instruments. With certain financial institutions or para-financial firms lending cryptocurrencies in a formula similar to bank lending transactions, the importance of the credit risk management process of cryptocurrency lending will increase. Since new information technologies and Industry 4.0, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and analytics conducted on computerised Big Data Analytics platforms, are already being used in the credit risk management process occurring in the context of banks' lending and investment transactions in securities and other capital markets assets, so in the future such new technologies may also be applied to improve the credit risk management processes of cryptocurrency lending.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

We will use new software to calculate sigma plus 'risk metrics' such as the frequency number and cost of errors. Can sigma predict cost? Apparently not! See the image attached.
We will also simulate failure of various 'acceptable risk criteria' to compare effectiveness of the latest Westgard & CLSI EP 23-A QC processes. Again we will measure the number and cost of errors reported, as well as costs to perform QC.
Let's measure impact of automated best practice for risk management; I think it is VERY significant.
Have credit procedures and the risk management process really improved after the global financial crisis of 2007-2009?

Could the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank be the start of a domino effect of failing financial system entities and the beginning of a new financial crisis?
Have credit procedures and risk management processes really improved after the global financial crisis of 2007-2009, since major banks are still failing, which may cause severe turbulence on the financial markets, including capital markets, securities markets and, consequently, may also deepen the already developing economic crises?
On Monday 13.03.2023, the situation shaping the capital markets was influenced by the developing news in many media that one of the largest banks in the USA, i.e. Silicon Valley Bank, had declared bankruptcy. The collapsed SVB bank was taken over by the state-owned Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC, Federal Deposit Guarantee Corporation) on Friday 10.03.2023 after the bank was unable to pay out money to customers withdrawing their deposits in a panic. SVB is the 16th largest bank in the US and has served a significant proportion of Silicon Valley startups, companies and funds. Silicon Valley Bank was the largest collapse in the banking sector since the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse and the onset of the 2007-2009 global financial crisis. At the end of 2022, SVB had more than $209 billion in assets. But the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is not the end of the problems in the financial markets. On Monday 13.03.2023, news hit the media that another bank is failing. Customers worried about their deposits also called many of their other banks to check that their money was safe. This second spectacular failure in the financial system is New York's Signature Bank, which was shut down by state market regulators on Sunday. According to the Reuters news agency, this is the third largest bank failure in US history. It is also another spectacular bankruptcy of a major financial institution overseas in just a few days. New York-based Signature Bank is a US financial institution that, at the end of 2022, had customer deposits worth almost USD 89 billion and USD 110.36 billion in assets. According to published official figures, almost a quarter of these funds came from cryptocurrencies. This raises a key issue to be resolved regarding the extent to which credit procedures and the credit risk management process at financial institutions have improved over the last 15 years, i.e. after the onset of the 2007-2009 global financial crisis. I have described the determinants and root factors of the 2007-2009 global financial crisis, including the mistakes made in credit risk management, in my articles on this issue, which I posted on my profile of this Research Gate portal after publication. I would like to invite those conducting research on this issue to join me in research collaboration on issues and factors for improving the credit risk management process in financial institutions.
In view of the above, I would like to address the following questions to the esteemed community of scholars and researchers:
Could the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank be the beginning of a domino effect of failing financial system entities and the start of a new financial crisis?
Have credit procedures and risk management processes really improved after the global financial crisis of 2007-2009, since major banks are still failing, which may cause severe turbulence on the financial markets, including capital markets, securities markets and, consequently, may also aggravate the already developing economic crises?

Critique of Metaphysics and maybe solutions:
“Transhumanism should be exercised (IF AT ALL) with EXTREME CAUTION. The term mutation often has negative connotations. As such, rather intuitively, the origins of racism are by mutation. Different beliefs exist. Broadly speaking, believers in evolution, then creationists and all in between those two sides. The moral imperative of anti-racism prompts educators to investigate the metaphysics of both cooperation and rebellion against the agenda of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. One root to the white supremacy of creationism is the Story of Genesis. In which Racial Europeans were the original humans and the people of color were created by God marking Cain as punishment for murdering Abel. Creationism has been debunked by the scientific method. Nevertheless, white supremacy can come in a secular form as well. Under certain erudition, a conclusion has come that Europeans may be the last race to have developed. Despite being the last developed in the Evolutionary belief system, white supremacists still have found a way to consider the Europeans as superior. The white supremacists believe that the Europeans are the most highly evolved. Upon application of the Uncertainty Principle, a deduction can be made that racial realism is an empirically and rationalistically incorrect form of explaining racial disparities. Nature is so unpredictable that determining the human ingredients for a higher civilization is impossible. The Uncertainty Principle indicates that anti-racism is the correct way to handle race relations. The most humane solution is DEFINITELY not eugenics but rather anti-racist transhumanism. The Theorem to End Systemic Racism: (Group Theory) Given white privilege, the uncertainty principle, the q index(inquisitiveness (DRD4 7-repeat), psychological stability (5HTTLPR long form), and individualism (mu-opioid receptor gene; OPRM1 G allele) and IQ, CRISPR could be used to help people overcome racism by making each person racially European, raising each person's q index, and raising each person's IQ. Thus, making each person a genius. Also available here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BS98MVDP?ref_=dbs_p_pwh_awm_anx_cl_1&storeType=ebooks”(Ohnemus 2023).
