    what happens if there's a war (or a cyber attack, or a natural disaster, etc) and the government(s) shut down the internet / electricity / networks? how do you have access to your Bitcoin?

    • when this happens, bitcoin will be your last problem :-)uan
    • not reallyKrassy
    • if you have cash or gold, you're OK in any of these disaster scenarios... but with crypto, poof -- you got nothin! lolKrassy
    • cash will be worthless. and if you have gold, you'll be target 1 for the hungry packs.uan
    • cash will be worthless? how so?
      and my gold won't be hanging around my neck :)

    • Yup, all you would need is a farm and skills to grow food. Nobody has this anymore, even farmers. We are all fucked if this happens.tank02
    • Hence why buying a few acres of farmable land (with simple home on it) is the best investment. You can get something decent for €50k+ in Central/North Portugalshapesalad
    • They usually have a well and fruit/olive trees. You then keep chickens, bees, maybe a goat, work the land and worry less about $£€'s, crypto and precious metalsshapesalad
    • Well this is my goal anyway... living in a city is an unnatural human life and a bad investment for both health and wealth.shapesalad
    • And crypto, investments and a little hard work will get me there.shapesalad
    • sounds great, where do i sign?hans_glib

    • If? - Wars and cyber attacks happen every minute. The decentralised nature of the internet was built to withstand themSlashPeckham
    • shapesalad, why buy the land now? just wait till all goes to shit and claim the land for your own then ;)microkorg
    • "claim the land"... implies you first buy guns just to indicate this is not negotiable :)ekael
    • my point is -- if the government decides to control/shut down Bitcoin, it can and it will. No?Krassy
    • they can regulate the markets, but if you got bitcoins in a wallet where you own the private key, they can't take it.uan
    • @uan your wallet and private key are nothing without the internetKrassy
    • invest in ammo? :pBabySnakes
    • ^ ha! :DKrassy
    • Guns, that's all you need. In case of a meltdown, you're just holding cash and provisions for the guy with all the weaponry.zarkonite
