If a global economic crisis will take place, Bitcoin will be affected too, it won't escape this easy. The only way BTC can fall down to 0$ is by shutting down the energy worldwide, but that makes all the currencies worthless, and Gold and Silver would become the only currencies worth something in this world. Small chances of this happening soon, higher chances of this happening in the next ~10 years.
I agree, an economic crisis is a global phenomenon which affects all people (even the ones not using computers or even linked to the market in any sort (like the revolts from poor countries over the increasing price of food)).

When people lose confidence in the fiats, they might use the bitcoin or the Ethereum as a safe haven.

we've heard a bunch of times about fiat money and escalating problems. any reason for bitcoin to decline rapidly and all the online wallets closing down how will everyone fear the loss of bitcoins. It can happen because its the problem with real money its causing bitcoin to get blocked halfway.

I think this is the reason why Bitcoin is created,  money is produced instantly whenever the government wanted.  Thus making it inflationary and resulting to  economic crisis.  Since Bitcoin has finite number, and the coin produced is designed as how the gold is mine, there is a slim chance that bitcoin will have a fast decline.
Bitcoin may have a finite number, but it's easy to bypass. If banks and companies start using bitcoin massively similar mechanisms than the ones seen today may be created which could lead to an increase of money supply via indirect money creation (set by liquidity ratios for instance).

In that scenario, existing Bitcoin holders will get rich.

Also, if banks, corporations, and governments build leveraged assets on top of Bitcoin (say, by issuing Bitcoin IOUs backed by the 'full faith and credit' of the government,) even though the system is still subject to manipulation by the elites at the core, just because money (Bitcoin) is now a non-state-issued, limited-quantity asset, the pace of asset inflation and all the associated problems will grow slower than under fiat money, over the long term.

This would be similar to the gold standard, when financial busts tended to cause immediate pain as central banks couldn't rescue the system by creating so much money, but, over the long term, financial inflation (with all its perverse economic and social incentives) was also slower than during the fiat era.

Quite not clear what you are refering to saying blocked halfway Huh
If you are talking about some countries considering bitcoin illegal to exchange than there are not many such type of country. In most of the countries bitcoin is being traded and being used even in local merchant level. So i am not seeing anything like bitcoin lossing total movementum due to any such banning etc.

Talking about price it may go down and go up which is normal and depends upon lots of fact, there are not such term like economic crisis for bitcoin.

I agree that Bitcoin will be 'affected,' but most likely in a positive way.  Since all major circulating currencies are issued by states, in an economic crisis (say, collapse of debt values or stock markets leading to loss of savings and jobs,) the states will most likely try to 'solve' the problem by creating more currency.  In fact, this seems to be the only trick the authorities know.  In this inflationary scenario, the limited quantity of Bitcoin will serve as an inflation hedge, and savers will likely go into Bitcoin (and other limited-quantity assets.)

I think it wont happen as many people already supporting it. With huge capitalization and reaching almost all nations its hard to  stop it. As long as tehres electricity,telecoms and network of computers it will exist. Even tech companies and several IT giant are riding and incorporating this technology on their services.

This is not going to happen at all. Bitcoin will not going to experience economic crisis. With large amount of money being invested investors and all elites behind bitcoins will find solutions so as not to lose billions of dollars. The only reason that things will come to this if a major disaster will hit earth like a meteor strike so devastating that all telecommunications and electricity goes down.

This wont happen, lets be realistic bitcoin has a market capitalization of milions and no one can make it go down soo deeply, making wallets companies take their service and our coins. The financial problems around several countries is making people choose to risk to loose the money to the country or to invest and hide it at bitcoin.
