This is the scary part of the story. Banks work on a system called fractional reserve banking, which means they keep only a small fraction of depositors' money on hand. The rest? They lend it out or invest it. In a crisis, when fear takes over and everyone rushes to withdraw their money, banks may not have enough to cover their promises. Suddenly, your money isn't so accessible. You thought you had control, but it's just an illusion.

Imagine a small business owner who relies on their bank account to pay employees and bills. If the bank can't fulfill that IOU, everything grinds to a halt. "I trusted my bank with my life's savings," they might say, "but now I'm not so sure itโ€™s safe."
