I think yes, bitcoins offer a lot of benefits during crisis that we might not get from local banks. Financial crisis is usually an inefficiency in the financial markets that the government or big banks try to cover up. But markets like to regulate itself so its just a matter of time until it becomes a national and a global crisis. Once a crisis is affecting the whole world it can take down many banks leaving all the savings accounts hanging. Being invested in bitcoins and other crypto currencies makes us independent from the local financial system.
