And if bitcoin crashes and people who took out mortgages to buy it end up on the street it could take the reputation of blockchain down with it...

Lets tone it a down a bit. I'm sure there are idiots who took out a HELOC to buy BTC, just like idiots who did it with gold, or to bet the horses, or buy lottery tickets. A few idiots can't really change the reputation of something. The internet somehow survived through a crash that led the economy into a recession. When/If BTC crashes, it will be a small blip in the economy.
