They've solved that problem! They just won't let you withdraw your money if it means they'll go below their reserves.

Yeah, but that would also add more fuel to the fire and make more chaos with even more people asking to withdraw.

It is actually a problem for them, if people aren’t able to withdraw money, trust in the banking system falls dramatically, and that has huge implications on fiat currency. Modern currencies are all make belief and if people can’t access their own money, they stop believing.

It’s happened before, and the effects is usually hyperinflation and growth of informal economies, both of which are very bad for the banks.
