That was the headline I saw on the internet earlier today. What kind of impact on bitcoin will it have when it happens?
The first effect of the central bank debt money bubble bursting will crashes in the bond and stock markets. What follows will likely be inflation (eventually hyperinflation) and an increasingly desperate search for so called "safe haven" investments.
The assets that will be most sought after in the short term are precious metals (gold and silver), since these are widely known and their function as safe haven is well established. Other commodities might appreciate in fiat valuation, too. Bitcoin will also profit from such a scenario, albeit with a bit of latency, since relatively few people are well informed about it and have first to figure out how to buy it.
Since Bitcoin is sound money, which is not subject to centralized control nor inflationary effects, it's quite clear that it is perceived as an attractive investment in times of economic turmoil.
