    Bitcoin is a flight-to-safety asset: the most secure way to get wealth thru a crisis, if held securely from threats raised by that crisis.

        The safety Bitcoin provides is not the short-term risk aversion desired by pension funds & insurance companies. It is currently undergoing price discovery which makes its price too volatile for that. Rather Bitcoin has fundamental safety:https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1162743096821469184 …

        Shallow safety vs. deep safety: Shallow: estimated from volatility, assumes nothing goes wrong at lower layers of the protocol stack Deep: what happens to your assets upon underlying failures? e.g. how would your digitally centralized assets fare against sanctions or cyberwar?

        Precautions against a wrench attack are rarely taken, but bitcoin does provide the necessary tools to guard your savings from wrench attacks: multisig and timelocks. Make your savings only movable on certain days, with help from multiple parties. Now wrench attacks won't work.

        One question I get from some of my friends is "what if they power goes out". Thoughts on that? You get access back after... But during?

        You can reply that credit/debit cards, paypal, the entire Internet, physical stores, banks, etc... don't work without power as well.

        BB is correct. No historical evidence to suggest Bitcoin is a safe haven asset. USD usually rallies in crisis so Bitcoin could be worse off.
