If catastrophe happens on Earth and society collapses, would Bitcoins be useful?

[gabriella]

or would people revert to gold instead?

Both if the Net still works.

Hmm... How to say it... Only currency`s that will have some matter - will be strength of muscles, reaction speed, and only after that - brain power. Other values will be of limits for some period of time.

I'm not sure? But if it happens I'll have check back on this thread.

That's a good question. I'll look it up on Google News and get back to you once it happens.

No.  Without society, currency is worthless.  There would be no currency.

[imperi]

Women and gasoline would be currency, along with water and crossbow bolts.

If technology was readily available and small networks could be easily assembled, I don't see why Bitcoin would be completely lost.

[jhansen858]

haven't you ever seen mad max beyond thunderdome, they use gasoline as currency in that event.

[evoorhees]

The best way to prevent society from collapsing in the first place is to move it away from fiat currencies and central banks =)

[Kman54]

no, guns water and food would be the new currency.

[imperi]

And gasoline!

[Girtod]

the Internet will remain after the disaster? and what values will be after her? maybe in the future for a piece of bread to kill

     I am assuming that by catastrophe, internet will also be lost. Which means this is a completely useless question since bitcoins together with all the other altcoins out there would clearly sees to exist and will be easily forgotten in a few years time after the said catastrophe. But, if you mean a catastrophe that exempts the internet usage, then I pretty much think that bitcoins would still have value since it will be the one that can be easily used to send value across the globe. It will be a good payment for labor and other things. But even so, in remote areas, I think that barter trading would be the most logical thing we can think of to happen.
