Could you move more than the FDIC insured amount from Goldman Sachs? Or Lloyds in the UK?

Luckily, with Bitcoin, it's trade what you can lose. Keep the rest by yourself. Yes, there were some losses, but it's a trading platform. Somewhat expected.

If you don't believe me research what happened with the Swiss Franc recently. It has closed a lot of FX trading platforms from sheer losses [1].

This isn't limited to bitcoin — that's a naive and ignorant point of view.
