well that is not my case. If you are american, you haven't suffered one in your home land (i think), disrupting electricity, comunications, bombings, health problems, etc that would be severe enough to disrupt bitcoin. If you are on a civil war on Congo you probably would have problems using bitcoins.

Fair enough. I have this stupid American habit of assuming that everyone who types in English must by American...forgive me I'm working on it.

But ya that wont ever really be a problem in my lifetime, we have two very large oceans that do a damn good job of protecting us from wars on our land. Barring an EMP from some terrorist/China/NK(hahahahaha ya right, you need a functioning ICBM for that)/Russia/Iran?all-the-other-palces-that-hate-us we should be ok.

As to other parts of the world that have a much higher likelihood of having a disruptive conflict within their boarders I really don't know. Even with the backpack and the laptop you still need internet access. Some sort of SAT phone connection maybe? trying to think of things that will work w/o local infrastructure and having a hard time.

yeah i am working on it, some kind of antenna for the helmet ...

damn! this guy was faster

Now seriously on a war economy bitcoin wouldn't be allowed probably. There would be a fair suspicion of people using it to send anonimously funds to the other party. There would be barriers and firewalls bigger than those on china or north korea to block and filter internet connections. Only a few chosen could probably use internet during a serious war conflict (i mean an all out war effort, not just a war against a small country) Possible for them? maybe not but bitcoin would probably be a hidden economy (at national scale) then and there could be forks from parts of the world not connecting to the rest of the network?
