Dumb Question, we store all the bitcoins sent to cold storage in a vault that is a faraday cage shielded to protect against something like this.
My question is due to us getting bombarded every 2 days now with CME's coming from the sun, the next one scheduled to hit earth tomorrow is that something I could be using for promotional stuff?
In case you don't know what I am talking about, as you're reading this planes are being diverted due to the electromagnetic storm.

If a powerfull solar storm hits the Earth, our Bitcoins will be our last concern. Believe me, people will burn dollars and euros just to warm soup.
The remaining Bitcoin hashporwer will be much easier to do a 51% attack... So, the blockchain will be gone...
