Since this is gonna inevitably happen in the next decade, this should be something we should at least be aware of. Where would you want to be if this happens, and where would you most definitely NOT want to be?
Gonna get the obvious ones out of the way first:
Wouldn't want to be in Washington DC.
Would want to be anywhere in the silicon valley, CA. (except for EPA and east San Jose)

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Chicago/any of the various heavy gun control cities would be a bad place to be.

Corn, wheat, oats or rice, in the end it's all grass. |

Corn, wheat, oats or rice, in the end it's all grass. Still, I would prefer to be near where something I can eat is grown... The mass produced corn isn't really too edible... |

If you're careful, and lucky, your back yard can grow enough wheat to feed you. A couple of window gardens with herbs, and maybe an indoor grow room for tomatoes, and you'll be doing OK. Not a very varied diet, but mostly nutritionally complete, if you can get some fish. |

It's not as complicated as some people might think to grow stuff in your garden.
Potatoes, beans, peas, carrots, etc.
You only have to make sure it doesn't get eaten by rabbits or snails.

Hmm. I wonder what food it would be more beneficial to plant in a limited space garden... what sort of garden would be the most nutritionally complete, and how much space would be required per person?
I might do some research on that.

Heard a guy come on Bloomberg over sirius/xm the other day that is on a liquid diet only, called it soylent, I kid you not. When he mentioned the name I thought that Bloomberg or sirius was running a spoof. Why on earth they would call it this is beyond me considering the movie and all.... (look up soylent green if you haven't seen the movie.) http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/drink-soylent-and-youll-never-have-to-eat-againhttps://campaign.soylent.me/soylent-free-your-bodySo what’s in Soylent, exactly?
Everything the body needs – that we know of, anyway – vitamins, minerals and macronutrients like essential amino acids, carbohydrates and fat. For the fat, I just use olive oil and add fish oil. The carbs are an oligosaccharide, which is like sugar, but the molecules are longer, meaning it takes longer to metabolize and gives you a steady flow of energy for a longer period of time, rather than a sugar rush from something like fructose or table sugar. I also add some non-essentials like antioxidants and probiotics and lately have been experimenting with nootropics |

Costa Rica! Manuel Antonio. Beautiful beaches, not too many people, plenty of agriculture, very basic and yet pleasant life.

The less red, the better.
In most of those areas, less red means less water, which means no food. My answer is 'as far from a Federal Reserve district bank as practical'.  |

For the average person, someone hardworking and careful, I would figure three crop cycles (basically three years) of part time work to get decent production from a garden. In some cases, longer. For some areas and for some people, never. There are massive amounts of "lore" and technique involved. Anyone who wants to have some fun with gardening and learn from it, try grapes or strawberries. |

Why would you want fish? Protein, mostly. A couple of essential vitamins/oils and such. Take up less space than a cow, too. Keep in mind this is just off the top of my head, I haven't done a lot of research on what, exactly, you would need to have, but just spit-balling: bread for calories, herbs for flavor and vitamins, tomatoes for the all-important vitamin C, and fish for protein and other vitamins. I'm no nutritionist, but that seems fairly complete to me, if boring. |

In most of those areas, less red means less water, which means no food. I'll take the difficulties of dealing with obtaining water over the difficulties of dealing with hungry mobs. You start with your own supply of water and food in a remote place to outlast most, then you can go in six months to a lot more places with water later. Having six months of food supply is not too hard, having six months of water is tougher unless you have a well. |

Yeah, I don't think this is true at all. I think I'll just stay where I am and not worry about Doomsday Prepping. |
