You're in agreement with them though. The timelines may not be exactly the same, but eventually the banks will cease to issue loans when it becomes blindingly apparent that there's no profit to be had, and the economy will end up stagnating, and crashing, and the money will become worthless. If it keeps going, that is.

Except they can always outlast because they have many more assets to sell.

That's not how it works. None of this exists in a vacuum. Having something to sell won't matter if nobody is buying.
