Finally, I hear my self thinking outside my body by reading someone else's reply!:)

It's funny that people are suggesting that the internet would be broken by a WWIII type event (assuming nuclear) - because the internet was created by DARPA precisely to be resistant to this exact threat Smiley
I was making the same point earlier - you are right.

As for what remains valuable in war, I remember reading a fascinating account of Hong Kong under Japanese occupation - a situation where preexisting currency was rendered useless. Gold and jewellery were used to store wealth. And Jews sewed gold into their clothes when escaping from the Nazis. Portable wealth is the key, and Bitcoin ticks that particular box quite nicely. You can keep it in your brain, let alone sewed into your clothes or dangling from your ears.

I too, think the value of BTC, during the war will become greater as more and more people would need to secure their money and make sure they can use it while on the move, or at least have the potnetial of being used while on the move.
