Bitcoiners and gold bugs alike do not wish for a global collapse. They simply recognize that the current system is unsustainable and will inevitably collapse without intervention. This is a common misconception.
I think the core of OG Bitcoiners are like that. Maybe more defensive and wanting more resilience to collapse - but not the collapse itself.
But there are definitely wings of our movements that went to far and wish for (or make prophecies about it every month) it. I bet that those people are still in a fiat mindset and became desperate about it (while true Bitcoiners, in fact, do not care if it's 20k or 60k or 100k). They never went deep into the technology or the economics - they just came for being contrarians. And they will go without any loyalty before Hyperbitcoinization becomes mainstream.

more resilience
That's a cool slogan, maybe we should push that.
On the other hand ”Bitcoin fixes this” is a slogan that includes that and more.

Many gold bugs and preppers wish for collapse and think they would drive around mad max style and be the shit with 1 ounce gold coins. They don't get that useless yellow metal would be useless yellow metal, that they would get robbed way before Whe Walking Dead becomes real and why this cannot happen with 12 words in their head.

Correct. Don’t pit the cart before the horse. We are cause of nothjng. We build life rafts, nothing more. Don’t confuse life raft builder with tsunami creator. They’re only related very loosely, thematically.
