If the world is to flee into a digital asset, Bitcoin just isn’t going to cut it. Bitcoin is difficult to transact. It’s difficult to trade without a third party taking custody. Mining is energy intensive and physical centralized. It hardly suffices for that role at this time.

In a true meltdown we’ll probably see ~3 chains emerge as schelling points for different needs 

Btc for security and stability despite drawbacks. Eth for complexity and best balance of all worlds. Some high throughput shitcoin for coffee.

People will buy their coffee in usdc on a rollup, and it’ll feel just like apple pay.

There might be a day in the far future when a significant number of ordinary people do everyday transactions in a pure cryptocurrency. The prerequisite is years of stability. It has to become boring and lindy, the 100x gains and "winters" a historical footnote. I wouldn't hold my breath.
