You can also say; Are the people ready to embrace Bitcoin in times of a financial crisis? Fiat currencies decreasing in value, stocks being less interesting, gold being way overbought and also not interesting.... Bitcoin can definitely function as a safe haven for everyone. And beside that, people wishing for a financial crisis are just keyboard loud mouths. Let them speak again when a crisis hits them at full power.

Bitcoin is still in its infancy and won’t be able to serve as an “exit valve” if the entire global financial system implodes

No system is prepared to cope with a financial crisis. The situation wouldn't be a crisis otherwise.

Andreas should stick to the "uber-Bitcoin-geek" stuff, economics isn't very enlightening when it's on the level of "economic crises are difficult to contend with". No shit, lol.

Is Bitcoin Ready for the Next Global Financial Crisis?
Andreas Antonopoulos is “perplexed” at why some Bitcoiners wish for a global financial crisis because, as he acknowledged, Bitcoin is still “not ready” to absorb such a shock.
