Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

You'll just find out how little banks care about retail customers. What do you think happens to the cash you give to the coffee shop? They put it in the bank. They use it to pay suppliers who put that money in a different bank.

People are the same. The barista takes their cash tips and spends them. Those businesses put their money in their bank account and buy supplies or pay workers. Their suppliers do the same.

Banks do not care about your $5 for coffee, they care about the coffee shop.
