"This is huge. Don't know how this will end. Henan bank is NOT the only one that is having problems with liquidity. All four Chinese banks are having the same issue.

The banks, which include the Yuzhou Xinminsheng Village Bank and the Shangcai Huimin Country Bank, are under investigation by the authorities for illegal fundraising, the state-run Global Times reported.
The protesters were eventually bused to various sites where Zhang said they were forced to sign a letter guaranteeing they would not gather anymore. Late Sunday, Henan banking regulators posted a short notice on their website saying that authorities are speeding up the verification of customer funds in four of the banks and the formulation of a plan to resolve the situation to protect the rights and interests of the public.
More than 1,000 depositors from across the country had planned to gather in Zhengzhou last month to try to withdraw their money but they were unable to when their COVID-19 health codes, which determine if one can travel, switched to a "no travel" status.

This will cause more people to switch to a cryptocurrency so they can remain in control of their own money.

Not necessarily, and for a ton of reasons
When a crypto currency isn't considered legal tender by law, or even banned, what are you going to do with it? If you can't pay your taxes or buy something with it, what are you going to do?
Now you can have the official crypto, fedcoin, ccpcoin... No bankrun problem... But for the control part, well... I'm not going to hold my breath
Besides, the latest bitcoin episode isn't exactly good press for crypto https://pic8.co/sh/gXHfKz.png
Needless to mention the other scandals such as mtgox and vanishing coins, the average man is tech dumb, of course he isn't going to set up his own shit
And for new cryptos... Well they can easily get cornered/taken over by big players, so you potentially face a world of hurt ultimately with those
...
IMO, all this shit is trending toward govcoin

True it can't be a 100% switch until you can use it to pay taxes, but you can start to use it now in place of bartering. Regardless, the more people are pushed into a corner the more they will re-evaluate their priorities. Banned or not, crypto currency provides an option to protect some of your worth from tyrannical control...there will be a threshold at which each person will say "it's worth giving it a try".
The BTC/USD price is still volatile, yes, so there is an added layer of risk if BTC is used for payment of things that are priced in USD. The entire market is down right now, even though BTC is down more, because of the recession we're now in. BTC also goes higher than the market during the growth period. Regardless, this entire layer can be bypassed for now by keeping your money in several stable coins that are pegged to the price of USD. Then you can convert it to another cryptocurrency as you buy something, and the price of that currency at that moment won't matter...since everyone would still be pricing in USD.

What's the difference between a vanishing coin and a permanently frozen deposit?
...average man is tech dumb
This, for good or bad, will be the next test of "survival of the fittest". Those that take the time to learn this tech will survive the next phase, the others will remain trapped like a slave. But even this is on a gradient scale: you don't need to be a crypto developer to pay for your McDonald's meal in BTC using your phone.

Nothing says it's going to be permanent, and a bankrun is only a problem with bills/cash, not with digits... Hence why they're going to move to a govcoin, how convenient...
Vanished coins are vanished, there's no way to get them back, it's as if they never existed, it's not like you can sue an entity here, it's gone, poof

I don't believe this one bit, anything can be confiscated and/or criminalized, starting wiht gold ownership for instance, bitcoin is no different, there's no safe haven
