People have been giving a shit about shiny metals for hundreds of years prior to the dollar or crypto (and still continue to today). If we are forced to go all the way back to either hunt or die for literally every person in society we're fucked anyway. I dont think the grid going down would put us in such a state. Cities would be fucked but country folk can survive. I think the separation everyone is having in this thread is the idea of what exactly the circumstances of a major catastrophe would be. Everyone seems to be in agreement just with different scenarios in mind.
