This is what I'm pondering at the moment. First would be the issue that this announcement is going to cause panic withdrawals (if it hasn't already) which I would guess has its own negative side-effects. Then it makes me wonder if printed paper would be worthless in a worst-case scenario anyway.

Or is this going to turn into Greece where all banks will close or limit the amount that can be withdrawn.

What a shit-show this has become

EDIT: another thing to consider is where to store all this cash if you withdraw. For those that have 6 figs in cash sitting in their banks, exposing that large sum of money in physical form poses an enormous risk (e.g. natural disasters or accidents being a big one)
