Very true. If it comes with a full collapse of the value of traditional assets, it would be truly chaotic at first. No chance it'll happen like that though.
Why would value collapse?
If a bitcoin was worth 5x the median salary, a new car would still be worth 0.4x the median salary.

Sorry, probably not using the right language. I meant it in the following sense:
  • Fiat worthless compared to Dollar
  • Housing market going back to its "real" value than its speculative value
  • Stocks going back to their fundamentals
  • Etc
Basically, i was thinking of a scenario where the only way to store value is by owning Bitcoin. Housing, stocks, are now mostly seen as investments to beat inflation. This would not happen anymore in the scenario i was thinking of.
But I'm no econ expert, by far. So you can certainly poke many holes in my logic.
