It has been 10 years since the 2008 financial crisis and there are a number of financial experts out there predicting doom and gloom to hit the financial world this year. To be fair, every new year brings new crazy predictions, so, although I am not reading too much into it, It did get me thinking - how would bitcoin hold up during a financial crisis.
We know gold is able to withstand a crisis, but with the price of gold very much being controlled nowadays, it might not be a good idea to use them as a comparison.
Interested to know peoples thoughts on the matter, what do you think would happen to bitcoin during a financial crisis?
I feel torn on this one, bitcoin could increase as people look for something away from the traditional corporate world and find safety in bitcoin, alternatively it could follow the same route as everything else and end up crashing. It's really hard to tell, it also depends what the reason for the crash is.
