What would happen in a deflationary hoarding scenario?

You mean hoarding will cause the trading volume to become less and less but with super extreme volatility. Even if the bubble bursts, bitcoin will return to a position where volatility is normal. The effect that is likely to be seen is the rotation of individual financial status globally, such as the shitcoin hype where many newly rich people emerge. But this is an almost impossible scenario.

This scenario can't happen, people invest in bitcoin to make a profit, so when they get a profit or need money, they will have to sell their bitcoin. And if the demand for bitcoin increases, those who want to own it will pay a high price to buy it, and those who want to take a profit will sell it. Just like what is happening now, there will always be daily trading, there will never be people just accumulating, holding, and not selling. Everyone's life needs are never the same.

Well there won't be any stop at wanting more bitcoin, we know that much, people will always want more bitcoins. However, if suddenly "everyone" stops selling, that means price would go up, and eventually people will sell, there is no scenario where you would have everyone holding even when it reaches like a million each, eventually someone will sell when it goes up.

We sort of have this in a small scale, when the price of bitcoin goes up, that means people stopped selling at certain prices, so buyers had to pay more to get it. Same mindset with that, but in a bigger scale happens when the bull run comes and the price suddenly jumps a lot higher.

Every human mind will not be the same. people who want to HOLD, of course, already believe that the price of bitcoin will continue to rise, but what about people who hold bitcoin but are panicked by the rapid fluctuations of bitcoin. Everyone will not hold and the market will certainly continue to move. even though 90% of bitcoin owners hold their bitcoins, another 10% will move on and bitcoins will get more expensive. EVERYONE won't really hold it back, trust me.
