first of all when a country is hit with inflation majority of people don't look to bitcoin, and many who were aware of it are still not going to take the high risk of converting their fiat to bitcoin.

This guy gets it. If an economic collapse could translate into a massive wave of bitcoin adoption, then Venezuela, a country suffering a rampant inflation currently at 2.000.000% (according to sources not linked to the govt), then Venezuela would be the first country to adopt bitcoin and every citizen would be using or holding bitcoin, reality is that none of that is actually happening.

If the btc volume in those countries is increasing is because the big companies or the upper class are using bitcoin, middle class and lower class, pretty much the majority of the population, have no access to bitcoin or don't even know what it is.

Countries like Argentina, Venezuela etc which are basically facing an economic crisis right now are already using Bitcoin as one of the primary forms of payment since quite sometime.

Lies. Show me proof of the stores accepting bitcoin as the main form of payment in those countries. Pro tip: you won't find any.

What actually happens in Venezuela is that they buy what they can the same day they get paid and they try to hold US dollars instead of their currency. This happened in Argentina too back in 2000. USD is accepted by almost everyone. Bitcoin isn't. That's the facts.
