If there's a big crash coming then that's a good opportunity for everyone who holds a lot of money to buy items in cheap price

Crash means crash and all the people suffers from it. You can say if economy crash can be usefull for any group of people. You have money and it goes in crisis.

Any crisis (and war, to a degree) leads to a redistribution of wealth. Given, for example, that gold is indestructible, some hands lose their grasp on the shiny metal, some obviously acquire. Even in the case of a devastating war where wealth is without doubt destroyed in massive amounts, whole nations may profit by it dramatically...

Look at the US which grew as a world power after the WWI as the most conspicuous example in the modern history
