Many economist are predicting another crash in about 1-2 years time. No one can predict the severity of the crash but some are saying this will be worse than the 2008 crash caused by the banks. Everything will go down even lower than what it already has been. I think more and more people will realize we can't keep trusting the banks. So this might present an opportunity for crypto to make a change. And hopefully by that time, there are a few projects ready for mass adoption.
I would argue that Bitcoin only got as high as it did because an extended period of economic growth winding down encouraged investors flush with cash to be less risk averse than usual in an effort to maintain returns. Many felt they were playing with house money. Once the current bubble bursts, the value of crypto will likely evaporate as people come to their senses and invest in conservative assets. It's absolutely laughable to think that people will flock to risky investments in a recession. Never happened and never will.
