        Balance:

        Each of 98 Townspeople: $50

        The Merchant: $1050

        The Farmer: -$950

        So, the 98 towns people and the merchant all wants to withdraw.

        ???

        Now you have a riot outside of a bank.

        Congrats, you destroyed a Town with #Banking 🫠

        The Banker just gaslight the town to mob-lynch the Farmer the good ol’ capitalism way.
