FED/Fiat collapse. Which maybe sooner rather than later given their inability to ween QE and ZIRP.

I think it would be a fundamental flaw in the philosophy of Bitcoin to require a global economic collapse for it to become relevant.

If anything, I think that for Bitcoin to become ubiquitous, it need to work and be seen to work within the very system it seems designed to undermine.
