just looking up about russia/ukraine! its getting bad! http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/03/18/4003256/ukrainian-soldier-killed-in-crimea.html

if this ends up in a huge war (which america will no doubt get involved!) will bitcoin soar in value?

also on a side note. iv been trying to find out if the conscription bill passed in the uk?? does anyone know? cant find anything online!

I think if we end up in WW3 the price of bitcoin will be the least of your worries.

Probably ww3 gonna destroy earth and even btc will be worthless

maybe rich people will go to the moon as it's safer than earth

if it goes to the moon it would be without most of us  :-\

but first, decimated population will lead to decreased demand will lead do lower price of BTC per USD (or per gallon of oil or per pound of potatoes, for that matter).

National service bill is no where near becoming a law, its only been heard once in the house of commons. still has a long way to go. I doubt whether many will be up for this really......

Bitcoin doesn't work without the power grid, but it would be even more scarce when computers are wiped from EMP's! TODAMOON   ::)

If there is a WW3, would the Internet still be intact?

Countries may sever data links with enemy countries to protect themselves from cyber walfare. There will be so many different forks of the Blockchain, cryptos would die.


Yeah, "food and water" will be the new fiat

This is more a media / psychological battle. There's no war yet. Wars today are different. Not even 100 years ago, a soldier killed would mean WAR. Nowadays we get more diplomatic.

WW3 has to be something different. I can't imagine big battle field WW1 style. But I can imagine use of nuclear force.

I think bitcoin relies on a thriving high tech economy in order to have a high value. It's hard to see it being used as a barter tool during an apocalyptic scenario. < that is just dreams of bulls.

In the aftermath of World War III will bullets become a deflationary currency? 

Bullets are already deflationary. Gov's are buying them up by the millions

And taking Bitcoin with them. Therefore taking Bitcoin:

To The Moon ;)
