most probably not
it actually depends on stuff

In my life I have 2 things I would give my life for
1.For my country
2.For my family

And if bitcoin was the only thing keeping my family alive then yes, but like this I think no but we can never be sure Smiley

Strange question, I certainly would not give my life for any concept.

No I wouldn't.... why would I bring such pain to my family and loved ones? It's not even like I'm giving my life to save someone else's life

you giving your life to save it

giving life ... but for dead, for prison, for justice process ( Grin ) ... ?
It's like you give your life for P2P ... it's a piece of all life now (skype is P2P, file sharing is P2P, bitcoin is P2P).

Is this really a topic worthy of discussion?

Wouldn't it be better, if you plan to open a new thread, to post something useful?

No. But I would give up my country.

Hardforks aren't that hard. It’s getting others to use them that's hard.

I'd rather die for bitcoin than my country but I'm not particularly keen to do either.

Nah, although it is a hypothetical situation I would hope that choices like that would never be needed - Bitcoin will be fine Tongue

1.For my country


Why? You like made up lines on maps? Accidental history? Tribalism?

Life is the only thing worth giving your life for - and the irony of that fact is wasted on all of us.

How much bitcoin are we talking about?

But seriously, this question could be re-written as "are you a Bitcoin extremist/fanatic?"
