Is it possible/an advantage to live off-grid with bitcoin?
What I mean by this is living on a rural property, perhaps running a full-node, completely independent from the existing fiat financial system. We want to remove our dependency of the banks and corrupt political establishment entirely.
Obviously, you would need electricity and a computer to run a node and connect to the network. Perhaps bitcoin is not well suited for rural lifestyle or off-grid?
Bitcoin requires electricity and connection to the internet, both of which are not something you want to do off-grid.
The reason is the electricity that you do generate will be more useful in maintaining creature comforts, such as running water,
refrigeration, hot showers, & lights at night.
To be truly live offgrid , you want to be completely self sustainable meaning growing your own food , slaughtering and butchering your livestock, growing your own food. Basically not needing physical contact with other human beings for months to years at a time.
If you are doing anything else, you're not offgrid , so don't waste your time pretending.
There are reasons, humans group together to share resources and skill sets,
the reasons are survival and comforts is increased over what you can achieve as a single individual.
You be better off to buy silver coins or bullion and use it as a currency,
no electricity required and your community can determine how it should be used in barter,
plus it has value in the modern financial system, but requires no electricity to maintain.
You should also look into bartering, things such as food, water, wine, electricity, books, medicine,
are more of a direct value for a small group shunning the modern world.
