it would defeat the purpose of bitcoin
Yes, and people would leave it for some other coins. The reason Bitcoin is so popular is that nobody is in control. A country going down in debt won't affect it and no bank or government will be able to take it from you. They can fight it and mess with it but it will be a long and slow process unlike repossession, seizure and other legal actions they can do with your money.
