Bitcoins and the zombie apocalypse

[godlyitems]

Know what's gonna suck when the world freaks out and zombies arrive?  With people not alive to maintain internet networks, bitcoin will die and even if the internet does maintain for a while, and some groups of people survive, you will find damn few people who will care about anything bitcoin related at that point.

Just keeping it in perspective.........

lol, even the gold or money not worth if zombie apocalypse come.
its all about survive 
but i think some ppl like zombie apocalypse tho bcos zombie games, tv series, etc.. lel
for bitcoin itself i think its no use, is internet networks still on if zombie apocalypse ? i dont think so.

We don't really need zombie apocalypse to feel how bitcoin can be useless and totally worthless. Just leave your big city. And travel somewhere where internet is not present and even electricity is scarcity.
Then you will understand that bitcoin is just currency for the high developed societies. Any kind of natural disaster, war or other abnormal events are the end of bitcoin as we know it.

You mean ... REAL zombies??? Isn't "zombie apocalypse" just a name of a scenario about people in the US starting a revolution?

If THAT would occur we are good with Bitcoin I think.

Why would that be? None of the previous revolutions in the world have been related to “zombies”. Why would this one be?

ew scenario ? i never heard before.
but real zombies eat meats, so zombies eat people then people change to zombies then it comes zombie apocalypse  .
thats is what i know.

if zombie apocalypse happen, bitcoin maybe useless.

if the internet ceases to exist , life will no longer be worth living ...

in all seriousness though , it would take an apocalyptic event to knock out the global internet / cause enough chaos that society breaks down ... possible scenarios that would likely do enough damage include massive solar flare , EMP/thermonuclear war , extinction level asteroid impact , alien invasion , viral pandemic event aka zombie apocalypse , and of course the most likely and my personal favorite - the end of the oil based global economy combined with all of antarctica and greenland falling into the oceans and submerging 80% of the human population areas within the next 50 years ... glad i like hiking and know how to swim ...

What about the giant supervolcano beneath yellowstone park in the USA erupting? It's been estimated it would destroy half the USA and block all sunlight out worldwide for years. No food will grow without sunlight and the survivors will mostly starve to death.

Nah...aquaponics ;p

Who is not to say that Zombies won't end up using bitcoin at some point. Maybe some smart zombie will form and they will need to have a smart economy. So they will use bitcoin.

Just a theory.

I bet it would be something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F83GtW-FVC8

edit: they bought their guns with BTC

Don't worry if zombie apocalypse happens just keep your coins in a cold wallet and you'll be fine. You won't need the coins immediately as many of the shops could temporarily close at that point, and after the apocalypse you just import your private keys and good to go as today. And those new satellites will confirm the transactions don't worry

In case of a zombie apocalypse people would tattoo their private keys on their bodies. If they die or survive, or the modern society is rebuilt, they can have their funds back. If not, they got a cool tattoo anyway.

We should probably save our Electrum seeds in the Doomsday vault for the future - just in case.

[AGD]

another important question: how to get the private keys from the zombie wallets?

This will be the last thing i would be thinking of doing when there are zombies trying to eat you, that will be game set and nearly match in the stated scenario and we would not give a bleep about bitcoin and those who did would quickly die. Find safe shelter, guns perishable food and a water filter/source. Nothing else matters not even our beloved bitcoin Sad Lets see what the future holds ;0)

[odedrozan]

i would not care about bitcoin even if im rich , i would care about my life . so yes bitcoin will destory if zombie apocalypse happend.
but its wont happend , no logic .

[R2D221]

I'm not expert, but I think you'd still be able to send bitcoin using carrier pigeons.

Using the protocol defined in RFC 1149?

I think we have bigger issues than bitcoin if that scenario unfolds, but yes, it won't be of much use, you are correct.
