LOL try accessing your "coins" in a grid down scenario.

In order for BTC to work as a medium of exchange, BOTH parties need - At a MINIMUM:

• Electricity
• Smart phone or computer - possibly both in some cases
• Bitcoin wallet / account -Email address
• Internet access
• Knowledge & understanding of how the BTC / blockchain system functions; at least enough to use it; enough to be comfortable to accept it.
• You either have to remember your wallet code / key (?) and/or write it down somewhere & hope you never lose it; hope it never gets lost or stolen, etc.

I'll openly admit; I've been in I.T. over half my life - just professionally. Personally, I've been interested in, tinkering, passionate hobby with I.T. for even longer. I don't fully understand BTC....yet..... I need to make the time to sit down & research & learn about it.

Just like I also want to sit down & research & learn more about Quantum Mechanics, Zero Point Energy (want to research if real or not), Gobekli Tepe, and other challenging, complicated topics.

If I need to dedicate anywhere near the time, effort & mental resources towards what you want me to believe is "money", as I do towards theoretical physics + such; your "money" probably isn't good enough for universal adoption. It's probably not a great idea overall.

That complex a system, in order to achieve something that is so simple, is never a good sign. Money is supposed to FACILITATE transactions; not make you sit & study it for hours.

With Gold & Silver you need: Hands. Open your hands, here's my gold / silver, in exchange for whatever you have that I want.

Not a hard decision to make....

I'm not shitting on BTC; I can't decide if it's a scam / CIA ruse or not, but since OP said "try that with gold"..... 😜🙏👌😘
