I think Bitcoin without regulations make it unsafe when you compare with banking system. But 2008 - 2011 crises show us nowhere is safe. At this point I have seen more Bank failures then bitcoin. Money stored in Banks are not 100% yours to begin with. Citizens of Cyprus and Greece learned this truth the hard way.I don't want to be another victim of approaching economic crisis when my money will be grabbed to fix national economy or something. And crisis  will come, sooner or later and hit harder than the last one in 2009. That is for sure.
