I check out lots of prepper / survivalist sites/forums and lots of them pushed bitcoin and crypto currency as a way to escape the federal reserve system and store wealth outside of IRS and big brother.
I never got in on it. If i had bought before 2018 i would have made lots of money. I first heard of it around 2012 or so. Would have been very early to get in but I couldn't conceptually trust a "digital coin" like this is a game of mario.
Back then all the hype online was mining the coins, which was still very practical back then.
I agree that an online bitcoin isn't going to help you in a survivalist situation because no one will give something of value up like food or ammunition for a bitcoin.
Hell, I worry how useful my gold coins and silver coins would be. Probably must more accepted, but still. Even now I have to pay ridiculous premiums on every transaction of gold/silver at a coin shop.
