Bitcoin is choas resistant, but the resistance (or immunity) largely depends on the protection from the extraordinary, coupled with building on strong foundation, like adhering to the ideals of Bitcoin.

When evil is increasing, choas tends to follow, at this point you start adapting to a nomadic/mobile lifestyle which is according to the Bitcoin principles. It's better to sell lands and only hold necessary things that can help you live as a nomad. Try to acquire easy-to-move, foldable and/or modular properties. When you notice something chaotic is about to happen, you quickly move to safe locations with your belongings.
Consume and believe in good quality information, it will form a strong protective bubble around you to help you become choas resistant. Find someone or people with such information, he/they would be promoting Bitcoin according to its ideals like decentralization, transparency, immutability etc. The information is light and the light is from the CREATOR. When people stick to the one who spread good information, and believe what they say, they will become immune to choas.  Interestingly he or they are being used in extraordinary ways to keep Bitcoin safe.  Which is part of the main reasons we are sure Bitcoin is immune.



The idea that real chaos resistance should be about mindset and how we choose to travel through the storm. Bitcoin, at its core, is movement, freedom to pick up and go, both with our value and with our principles. Both “nomad” and “node” keep moving, both survive by staying light and adaptable. In a world where the ground is always shifting (floods here, fires there, markets melting) sometimes the best anchor is no anchor at all. Letting go of what weighs us down, holding only what helps us stay alive and stay true


I reread op topic three times and didn't understand exactly what he was trying to say. Does he mean that climate change in the form of natural disasters can affect everything, including Bitcoin? Sorry if my answer may be off-topic, but I'll try to answer based on what I understand.

In simple terms, yes, natural disasters have a direct impact on everything, and Bitcoin is not immune to external influences. However, Bitcoin is better able to withstand these influences than other products, especially when it comes to investment products. Unlike other products, Bitcoin can be positively impacted during natural disasters after people lose confidence in traditional investments, and Bitcoin becomes a profitable investment opportunity as well as a safe store of value.
Three reads is dedication!

Half the point is that it’s confusing, because the lines between “financial crisis,” “climate shock,” and “safe haven” are starting to blur in ways nobody’s mapped before. But natural disasters hit everything, and Bitcoin’s whole “harder to confiscate, harder to freeze” gives it an edge over, say, suburban Florida real estate

If Bitcoin thrives on distrust, on chaos, then what happens if the “chaos” isn’t a one-off, but a rolling new normal? Imagine insurance markets permanently broken in three or four continents. Imagine every property bubble globally starting to leak, not pop. Does Bitcoin then become the new “home,” or does it become the new insurance? (And if everyone runs for the same exit, does the door stay open?)


Bitcoin stands the chance of surviving any natural disaster that will affect physical assets which is on a landed property. Bitcoin is digital and not only one person run the network. It comprises of many nodes from different part of the world. Therefore, bitcoin will definitely survive as long as the world wouldn't come to an end.

What you should think of is the people holding their bitcoin in their self custody, because if they die in natural disaster, without anyone knowing how to access their bitcoin, that is when their bitcoin is lost. You can have access to your bitcoin in any part of the world as long as a have an internet and your seed phrase with you.
Bitcoin can withstand everything except: forgotten mnemonics, lost passphrases, holders wiped off the map before anyone gets the memo. Makes you wonder: all this digital immortality, and it is still fixed to a frail, twice-cursed flesh-and-blood body can disappear in a flood, or a fire, or an earthquake

Trustless with maximum trust in meatspace: who are you going to entrust your backup to? Family? Friends? One of those multi-sig time-locked schemes?

In the next big climate disaster, maybe it’s not just “how do I rebuild my house?” but “can I recover my keys?”

The nightmare scenario: a whole city hit, nobody recovers, and a new kind of digital ghost town. Wallets full, but utterly silent
