Let's not wish for any war. In Europe wars are not happening from a long time now and I hope the US stops invading other countries for their interests and not that they do give a damn about those countries. In case of a war we should save our bitcoins in a desktop wallet in a portable hard disk, we can keep them in the hardware wallet and hope to have them until the world ends.
A collapse from crypto themselves is highly unlikely as Bitcoin has demonstrated it has the capability of only increasing in value from January 2009 until now.
In case of an economic disaster we should hold them and do not do anything stupid to sell them undervalued.
We are taking a lot more damage more than that. One of the most problems of the world today is economy. People are suffering and one of the main reasons why the third world is not well aware in cryptocurrencies is that people have no internet and not everyone can pay the bills online. Main reason also why the adoption of btc is not good in the third world.
Economic crash like they are saying are maybe caused by a natural disaster of a global war, which would kill millions of people and cryptocurrencies are not important because in war survival is the most important. And true. Lets not wish for that to happen.
Bitcoin and crypto currencies have been made to replace trust in banks and to be able to do without their centralized systems.
Imagine an unfortunate event in the world causing an economic crisis, or a crisis caused by the crypto themselves. A kind of 1929 bis in the 21st century. It would be sad, of course.
But what would be the destiny of bitcoin and other crypto currencies?
And worst of all, in case of serious disruption of the economy, such as war, for example, what would you say?
In case of real economy crash, bitcoin will behave like gold. If you are an old investor of real world stock market, you must have noticed that gold price always goes up if the market crashes for any reason. Because during a market crash, investors move their fund to exchange traded Gold for capital protection.
So I believe, bitcoin will react the same way as gold during any economy crash. Bitcoin and crypto market has its own unique set of fundamental values and are not directly co-related with the stock market. That makes it a safe investment during the economy crash.
No, i think that wont happen in BTC anytime right now. Gold have a global adoption and the experts are saying that the adoption of BTC is only @ 1/2 percent of the world population. Its unhealthy for crypto community if economy crash.
