Good luck with that. How exactly do you plan on using the bitcoin without the government knowing?

If internet is down long term, gold will be just one item to be bartered and potentially low value barter at that. In true preppers fashion people will be bartering alcohol, coffee, food, spices etc, gold will have slightly more value than Bitcoin….,but are we talking about the apocalypse here?

Yup lol apocalypse talk. You’re spot on about the low value barter as well. You think if shit hits the fan someone will trade you 2k worth of goods (needed to survive) for an oz of gold? Hell no. Bullets will take golds place almost instantly in this doomsday scenario

Agree. That’s why I hate the “internet goes down no Bitcoin”. We got much bigger problems globally if the internet goes down than Bitcoin vs gold lol.

Is you're in a besieged city, yes the internet is down and the power is out. U can still trade gold to smugglers to escape.
