You are so misinformed my friend...and I say this kindly, while also being involved in crypto for almost 10 years now.

As said, sure some countries may shut off… but would you want to stay there if they did? No

There's WAY more involved than just this. 51% attacks, multiple main/large nodes going offline, Tether corruption collapse, etc... many ways to cripple/shutdown daily usage of crypto. You get a bottleneck in trying to "spend" BTC can set you back for days...good luck getting your groceries while waiting for transaction approvals.

Do you want to haul however many pounds of gold and silver to whatever new country you try to flee to? No.

Yes I will, because it's in my hands, and I can use it at any time...unlike BTC that needs an electronic device to process it. Good luck using it if you are in an area without the proper ways to send it.

You have fun with that. And good luck not spending at least $100 worth every time you want to spend just $5…. What are you gonna do, scrape flakes off your gold bar? Lol

Someone hasn't heard of Silver, or even Copper.

And to add further… if the power does go off globally then there’s much larger problems than any gold or silver coins are going to save you from… nor do I think gold or silver will even hold value. You need power for precious metals to be useful for components and electronics… it will become just…. Jewelry if there is no electricity… and guess what jewelry will be pretty worthless in dire times like THAT.

Do you even know what bartering is? Do you know what you can make with Silver? Did you ever heard about breaking off chain links from a Gold/Silver necklace to make payment? Did you not learn anything in History class? Do you know that Gold has held it's value for hundreds of years, even with DS manipulation? Precious Metals are the oldest form of Money...not to mention, the US used Gold and Silver for legal tender until the Gold Reserve Act.

Stick to a realistic scenario if you really want to “prove a point”…. A realistic scenario is the usd is on its deathbed (again) and the president (again) confiscates all of it nationwide… to save “the system”.

That's exactly where I'm at...where are you? And they can try to confiscate it if they want...am I going to hand it over? Hell no....and many many other anons will tell you the exact same answer.
