I legitimately do not understand what you're getting at.

Society collapses, and you believe people will use cryptocurrency for barter instead of tangibles like water, food, ammunition and/or weapons because people will want to optimize the prices? What are you saying?




that they'll use it for easier reference value and an option, yes

if its easier for you, just imagine that its for the monocle wearing investment bankers that still want to offer intangible services and settlement over a network


I feel like you and I have wildly different expectations of societal collapse scenarios.


Yes our assumptions are different but the key thing to realize is that certain concepts simply wont go away

Radio can be recreated easily, and so can the concept of two computers talking to each other

Cryptocurrency does not need ubiquitous internet
