Not exactly. Holding bitcoin is a good way to protect our wealth, it is probably the best asset to do so. I think you have expressed yourself incorrectly and that is why I am clarifying.

When economic crises come, those who have assets always come out better off than those who don't, and this time will be no different. We have seen this with the war in Ukraine and inflation, which started before, and was exacerbated by it. Right now the price of oil is rising and this is going to have an impact on the economy in general. 

That's not a global chaos, previously it's only Russian and Ukraine, while right now it's only Palestine and Israel, people who live in a country where it's far from those 4 countries will not get an impact. They might influence some effect like oil price, inflation etc, but you can still live freely even though it's quite struggling.

During global chaos, every assets will become worthless because foods, weapon and place to live are the most important thing.

But the case you mentioned above, it's a small chaos, the best is holding BTC since you can move to other countries and your wealth are still protected.

Thinking logically — bitcoin should be a great option when it comes to wars. But will people have the same opinion as you/us? Or will most market participants simply stick with good 'ol gold?

At some point in the future, people (or at least we hope) will hold bitcoin as a good alternative. But the question is — when?

Well, let's look at it from a WAR angle and then decide if it is a good currency or a good store of value. During a war, countries destroy each others communication capabilities (Example Cellphone towers Internet cables etc).... so citizens will not be able to use the Internet to access the blockchain, making Bitcoin payments almost impossible.

On the other hand.... storing your coins in the Blockchain... might save it from total destruction.... when buildings and Banks are destroyed. Your personal belongings like gems and precious metals might be raided or stolen, where you can easily store an encrypted Private key online or buried in a waterproof container, where you can retrieve it after the war. 

If we are going to wanted saving our funds In terms of looting or other negative effect of Physical wars then  the best way to invest and make it safer in Bitcoin and to keep out asset be there .

But for personal preferences learning from what happened in the past WW2 , I thing  we also have to take Gold and some Paper money for personal support .
to sustain our daily needs and also to use as bargaining when the war goes deep in our City and our provinces .

Converting local fiat to Bitcoin prevents the value to depreciate in USD. When a country goes to war it's currency starts to depreciate gradually. In such scenarios the wealth of its citizens starts to depreciate, most cases the rich and affluent start converting thier local money to USD. For a common person that is not an easy task that is why it would be wise to invest in Bitcoin.

At when there is a crisis in and amongst nations, there is said to be deflation values within the affected waring nation while it boils at increasing the values of other nations as an advantage draining the supposed values of the affected waring nation (s). And at such a point, do many assets are gone down (lost) and most especially conversational assets.
Bitcoin would always be the best sort of investment to secure your asset at any cost of nature.

Maybe I should just let you know that viruses only attacks a softwares if the software is not protected enough with antivirus. This is just a lay scenero of the Bitcoin where it is a decentralized global coin that posseses phrases and private keys to uphold your Bitcoin wallet by yourself without a compromise.

I can also say to you that many conventional investors are affected by even just a community inflation but Bitcoin has itself determination values as fluctuations like to be inflation or delation but not as a course of a crisis or waring amongst nations.
The only possibilities of staking your Bitcoin asset's to a lost is when you get out of your private handy keys( passwords & phrases) else your Bitcoin remains 100% untempered by a second party and not even a global economy can get rid of it from you aside the effects of inflation and deflation as the coin is a volatile with the possibilities of fluctuating.

BTC might offer a safe haven to an investment value of worth but since it is digital, what happens when transmission or network fails to work?
Am also concerned about p2p not being able to function perfectly unless it is someone close we know or from someone who is not in a waring side of the world.
The best option I know is physical asset and the gold standard comes in first place before other precious metals and antiques may be considered.

If you yourself are in the country of Israel and that is the situation, then you have money in banks in that country. I think it is good to take your money out of the bank first, and to transfer your money from the bank, it is good to transfer it to Bitcoin, and then it's good to hold it long-term.

and while you are doing that, it is also better that you store it in hardware or electrum, because at least if it comes to the point of losing the internet connection there, your assets will be safe compared to your money in the bank. This is just my suggestion.
