> 2) This one is just personal to me -- if crypto becomes an important alternative to USD fiat, the world has likely collapsed and I'll probably either be dead or ready to die.
This is pretty fatalistic. Life goes on, even through war and grief. Just because you don't like the contemplations doesn't make them unrealistic or un-navigable.
Major power transitions are historically accompanied by world war, in such a war the electrical grid will be one of the first casualties. You can't use Crypto without a functional power grid. IMHO, Cryptocurrency isn't a good fit for this scenario. War is bad for cryptocurrency.
> It's hard to overstate the consequences of the US collapsing, considering the enormous amount of military power that our country has.
War has ever been unthinkable, yet it is historically common.
The US military needs an incredible amount of high tech supplies and upkeep to sustain, it would not survive as-is in a significant downturn.
