You have no access to your currency.

i.e. the shite hits the fan one day. Would be better to have your hands on real assets like gold, no?

If it's that bad just invest in canned goods. You'd be better off - they are easier to exchange for stuff and everyone will want them.

I doubt we will be worrying about bitcoin if something like that happens. Or the dollar. Or euro.

I think "massive" and "shite hits the fan" need a little more definition. Are we talking hurricane hits and no power for 2 weeks? Or are we talking apocalyptic type outages?
