I don't think any westerners want the current money system to collapse either. So it is interesting to hear the perspective we give to other countries that think we want that. Trust me, no one in the US wants to see the current economic system collapse.
We have already seen it. We know how it goes.
We saw it in the 1920s. It was horrible. It permanently scarred many of our great grandparents, and even left scars on our grandparents (because they grew up learning vivid horror stories of it). Seriously it was so bad that it took multiple generations to recover from.
Then we saw it again to a portion of our financial system just a decade ago. Luckily we learned from our mistakes and prevented total collapse, but we still saw how vulnerable the system is. Everyone here remembers that, it was only a decade ago.
No one wants to see the system collapse. I think what people are really thinking is they want to create a system that theoretically can't collapse. We are aware of how fragile our current banking system is. Crypto originally sought to create a system that removed the two main wildcards in the financial system (the Fed and the Banks).
Now we replaced Wells Fargo with Coinbase. So we aren't much closer to our goal. We replaced NASDAQ with Bittrex. We replaced the Fed with unregulated ICOs and Miners (if that's even a thing anymore).
