people don't see their need of it yet

Two things I fear:

  1. Once the collapse has happened and the need is there, people will criticize Bitcoin as useless for not having prevented the collapse.
  2. Once the collapse has happened and the need is there, regular people will not be able to obtain bitcoin at an affordable price, and thus criticize bitcoin again as being useless.

I'm it rooting for this of course. Just my opinion based on what I observe.

I don't think I'd root for that just because it sounds like a really dark scenario.

I hope people see the light and get on board with bitcoin, but that also seems very unlikely and/or far out.

to your 1. Just as over and over the proof of the people in this space who don't get wrecked like in events such as Mt. Gox and SBF are the bitcoiners who self custody, and that's it. An IRL collapse would be similar and hopefully that would be attractive to no coiners at that time.

to your 2. If economic collapse to the scale of which you're talking about surely bitcoin's fiat price has taken a hit too. Perhaps it will be good buying times for all.
