Bitcoin won’t save you in a real world war. Let’s be realistic — if WW3 breaks out, miners won’t be mining. They’ll be drafted. Infrastructure will collapse. Electricity will be a luxury. No power, no internet — no blockchain.

I think you are missing something here, even if there is no internet nor electricity during world war 3, the Bitcoin blockchain will remain.  It won't disappear as long as there is a single computer that has its data.  The activity may pause but the Bitcoin blockchain won't disappear.  Once the WW3 ends and the power, internet goes back, the Bitcoin blockchain activity can still resume.

BTC blocks don’t get confirmed by magic. They need ASICs, and every single chip comes from Asia. Good luck replacing hardware when global supply chains are shattered. Hashrate will crash, the network will slow to a crawl, and the price? Don’t expect it to moon.

Still Bitcoin blockchain wont disappear, there  might be a problem with block solving during the early stage of the recovery but the difficulty adjustment will surely fix this problem eventually.


In extreme crisis, gold, fuel, medicine, or even canned food will have more value than a string of numbers in your cold wallet.

Only food and any other stuff for survival is way more valuable than anything else.

Bitcoin is a great hedge for economic instability — not existential collapse.

this one I highly agree.
