The bankster ponzi scheme is still functioning for now, allowing the global economy to continue running on fiat. But what happens when the debt-based system finally collapses under its own weight?

With limited functionality (in terms of smart contracts, privacy, NFTs, etc) and only supporting about 7 TPS, Bitcoin cannot support much real-world economic activity.

In today's fiat-based world, Bitcoin is valuable. But in a crypto-based economy, demand for Bitcoin will likely decrease relative to other tokens that can be used to pay for services directly, or vote in governance decisions.

I could be wrong, but I think the new economy that emerges from the crash will be powered by a diverse set of cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin will become less and less relevant as time goes on.
