Bitcoin could disappear tomorrow and the biggest impact to the economy would be Tesla’s stick price.

That’s rather uncharitable; the fallout would at least be similar to what would happen to the holders of SGD, NZD, DKK, and dozens of other currencies smaller than Bitcoin were they to implode.

There's no such thing as market cap of a currency - just circulating supply denominated in itself. Each of those economies would be devastated and left unable to conduct commerce. Bitcoin though? A handful of speculators.
