Bitcoin Forum

Say you are traveling in a foreign country and all of your possessions are robbed. You lose your backpack/suitcase, you lose your wallet, your cellphone, your passport etc. Everything except the clothes you are wearing is stolen from you.

How do you re-establish yourself? Will your bitcoin help you? How so?

I think it can help you. But you'll definitely need to get access to the internet first.

you can only find bitcoin community, example youre visit out side youre country in china, you can find china people bitcoin user
and then you can selling youre bitcoin and get cash money

but is simple youre can visit ambasodor office,  you can ask help for ambasador

 Home insurance will cover the losses due to theft, travel insurance will cover the rest - including passport renewal - so you wont need your bitcoin to come to your rescue.  If you have a stash of bitcoin, you can afford some insurance.

Bitcoin will become handy in this case unless one of your gadgets (Ipad/mobile phoneI is tampered with and password to your wallet is accessed. You will simply get access to the internet through a cyber and sell some bitcoins to make you moving

Yes it will help me in two case I.e. in country Bitcoins are accepted and you should have Bitcoins.

I would need access to the Internet first, like a public library. From there, I suppose I could sell the BTC I would have...

Before traveling I place a few BTC in a google drive account so that they can be printed out and sold in .5 BTC increments. If I am robbed I use a public library to meet someone from local bitcoins so I can use the local currency to purchase a phone and check into a hotel before going to the Embassy with copies of my passport and birth certificate which I also place in a google drive account prior to travel.

What if you stole a phone? Besides, there are countries such as Cuba. There are more problems with the Internet. For example or North Korea. Better to let you will have such problems. Unfortunately it is impossible to be prepared for any situation.

Yes, it will be very helpful as any other e-currency. It is only necessary to have access to the Internet.

Internet or smartphone and bitcoins or any digital currency at your footsteps

You can just go to a local bank and get more money, so long as you left all of your important ID in the safe inside your suite. If you had everything in that backpack I think your only option would be to go to the consulate of your country and ask for help.

With bitcoin you would need a computer and internet. If they took you're smartphone then you'll need another with 2fa if you are smart enough to use it. I think bitcoin would be more of a problem since you do not travel with your 2fa code ( for new devices ) nor do you have a spare phone. I don't think bitcoin will help you. No, you'll need fiat and a new passport, etc.. Consulate it is.

If you lost your cellphone, u are screwed. Unless u got a paper wallet or a hardware wallet with u, then u could sell it for cash and use it to travel to the embassy and stay in a hotel in the meantime while u wait for ur new passport to be issued.

Well if u dont have password in ur bitcoin wallet then it might get lost .on the other hand it is very likely to happen to that u loose ur bitcoins too .selling bitcoins will keep u moving then u have to go to ur home ambassador so that u can file a complaint about it and get the insurance for it.

The robbers wont bet taking your password unless you are a bit foolish, it all depends upon how you are storing your coins,if its kept in your mobile wallet make sure that the robbers wont mug your mobile and it is possible that someone could help you out with bitcoin but i would rather ask someone to send through western union and would collect my money through them rather than bitcoin.

Any smartphone can be tracked. Another thing is that cops don't all countries use this opportunity. Normally we remain alone with our problems. So take care of your data and not be lazy every time to enter a password.

well yes bitcoin will help but you need access in internet you go internet cafe but be careful some computers might installed hacking software.

If you have some setting of security purose like security code on mobile then it will create some more difficulties but if you have no setting of security on mobile you'll definitely need to get access to the internet first and take benefit from bitcoin.

yes it will help.
But be carefull when go to other counties.
Just be alert.ENjoy THE COUNTRY AND COME BACK WITH SWEET MEMORIES.

I think it will help a lot. After all, in order to use bitcoin, only the Internet is needed. And if you do not take a lot of cash, you can avoid robbery or reduce losses and use bitcoin.

Internet and bounties ? Bounties will save the world.

Bitcoin could only help to fund your venture home and possibly fund the return of your identity documents, thats only if you have somebody willing to send you bitcoin or you have some of your own.

as long they have Bitocin ATM's you have a way of getting money out, so yes.

yes since most of countries does have a bitcoin wallet that you can withdraw but it is better to be careful when you are in a foreign land specially when it is your first visit.

Sure, just change BTC to Fiat
