>In case of major economic turmoil, the value of Bitcoins can drop to zero and stay there permanently.
It really can't. Bitcoin is used in over 100 countries. Economic turmoil in one, or even a few, country will not be sufficient to drop the price to 0.
The system becomes more robust every day. It's essentially a basket currency made of currencies proportional to all the proportion of people which use it in various countries.
After some more maturity there could not be a more robust currency scheme imaginable.
