Growing uncertainy over social instability as well as fear of drastic changes to federal policy to avoid debt deflation will cause investors to begin pulling their money out of investments. This of course will trigger the feared monetary policy changes as the fed and similar orgs frantically try to prevent a catastrophe, fueled in large part by the absolutely gigantic debt carried by US and the EU countries. This triggers a massive recession, which in turn triggers even more aggressive policy changes - bank account freezes, cash carry taxes, forced investment of bank account cash into bank stock or just straight up confiscation. This will make the Cyprus fiasco look like a lemonade stand rug pull.
The recession and discontent over drastic monetary policy, animosity towards politicians who dug themselves into this hole by insane social spending in the first place, as well as simmering resentment of immigration, triggers social unrest in Europe which quickly spirals into skirmishes and then full-blown intra-EU civil war. These flames are stoked by Russian and Chinese media, technology, and military interference. This leads to the collapse of individual country governments and, of course, the EU itself. Once this happens, things start to get interesting, because we'll have nothing to lose.
