Bitcoin Faces ‘Bank Run’ Vulnerability, Warns Cyber Capital Founder Justin Bons

Author: Content Editor
Crypto investor and founder of Cyber Capital, Justin Bons, has warned of a potential "bank run" for Bitcoin. Bons cited critical flaws in Bitcoin's transaction capacity, self-custody model, and network security, highlighting the risk of a crisis that could destabilize the network and harm investors. He pointed out that Bitcoin's transaction processing capability is limited to approximately seven transactions per second (TPS), causing potential bottlenecks and long queues in times of panic. Bons also criticized Bitcoin's limited use cases, its deviation from its original vision as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, and its shrinking security budget. While critics argue that Bitcoin has withstood similar concerns in the past, Bons' warning adds to the growing calls for a reevaluation of Bitcoin's scalability and usability. Despite his concerns about Bitcoin, Bons remains hopeful about the broader cryptocurrency space. The discussion around Bitcoin's scalability and resilience continues as it aims for broader adoption in the changing financial landscape.
