Bitcoins are a good investment, and if they were made "illegal" there are ways around that with online anonymity and secure browsers... but remember Gold was once illegal in the US as well. Any of these alternative currencies could be attacked, so it's good to diversify. You would be wise to hold physical cash in a home safe, along with gold coins/bars, and some bitcoins in a secure offline USB drive.
The best thing you can buy before a big crash would be.... non-perishable food!
If you've got extra cash go buy large quantities of things you consume, 100s of gallons of water, canned tuna, beans, rice, chili, nuts, oatmeal, soup, dried fruits or veggies, toilet paper, soap etc, and anything that you consume regularly that stays good for years. Best case scenario, you save some money from inflation of rising food costs. Worst case scenario, you feed yourself and your family for a year or more.
An even better investment, start a garden if you have the land, and learn to farm and grow your own food. You could even raise your own chickens, pigs and goats if you have the time and resources.
And then stockpile guns & AMMO to secure yourself. Less guns, more ammo.
