Discussion on: Is Bitcoin vulnerable to a "bank run"?

I might find another metaphor than "bank run." I associate a "bank run" with the difference between "cash on hand" and "deposits."

Maybe focus on the effects of scarcity (max 21M bitcoin) and emotion (fear of missing out) to proxy the psychology of bitcoin value.

Good luck.

Thanks, if I could go back in time, I would have honed in on the term "mass sell-off" or "panic crash" or something like that. "Bank Run" didn't really capture it properly.
