Electricity, Internet and Mobile Network

[AicecreaME]

What I've realized after our province here in the Philippines was hit by so many strong typhoons is that no matter how far we have got in the terms of technology and in the society, we'll still go back to the old life which has no internet, electricity, and electronics, since those 3 that you had mentioned are coexisting. Without the electricity, both gadgets and internet are useless.

But, even without those 3, we can still start a new beginning, what we don't need to do is to expect to have instant action on fixing the electricity post while there's still ravaging flow of water flooding the whole city and provinces. We have to be patient and understanding since rescuers and other part of the LGUs are just people who have limited capability to handle loads of works.

But, above all. I can't deny that we have a very incompetent president. Why? because if he only have a risk reduction management or anything that'll help us to be prepared in any typhoon that'll come, dying Filipino people could've been prevented, but since they don't have any, many people are suffering now because they've lost their properties, families, and their livelihood.

We're in the modern days. Most businesses are relying on those things and even an individual is treating those as necessities. Yes, they are now a necessity unlike before that we don't treat it like that. In rural areas, it's important to have these for communication. Although we can still live even without those yet it's gonna be a hard change.

Mobile networks/smartphones are now our handy computers and everyone even without anything to do, we have it with us wherever we go. What's good to read is that you're safe but sadly, there are many people who have been affected by the typhoon.

Electricity is the most important good these days. Almost all of the current gadgets we use in the developed world need electricity to run. The most important advancements we make here is in my opinion solar energy and better batteries. Even the most remote village in Africa with no infrastructure or access to a power plant can produce their own local energy with solar panels. Having electricity at home creates so many opportunities for people that it should be our goal to give every human in this planet access to it.

This is the path bitcoin needs to take and what we are missing out right now. There are a ton of places that can accept QR code payments nowadays which requires all three of these things, electricity, internet and mobile network because with these things you are getting what you want for QR code payments. At the end of the day if we can pay with QR code that means we could have bitcoin (or crypto in general) apps that could allow us to keep our bitcoin while paying with our mobile phone apps with the code without ever turning our coins into fiat currency.

We are doing crypto prepaid cards nowadays and that is not what we should be focusing on, that technology will be old news very soon and focusing our resources into that would not be a smart move by us, focus on mobile apps instead.

Typhoons these days seem stronger than the usual typhoons that we experienced before. The damage is too huge and I think that's because people abused the environment too much. Some of us have prepared well for that but what's the use of backups or solar power if most areas were submerged by water? Most people have struggled for their lives more than those necessities. There are really unexpected situations that could happen no matter what preparations we may do.q

Tht is the downside of digital currency, when electricity, internet connection are out we can't do nothing with our money, either we can't use them or transfer them, because these are the essential things, here in us there is a time that we can't trade because there is no electricity, but we're planning to have solar panels, but one problem still remain and can't be solve by us, internet connection telco should solve that.

Well this is fucked up topic, just to be clear on that! There're moments when nothing can help you! Some say in those moments you find God!?

Let's be clear on one more thing! Electricity, internet and mobile network are just the tools that can help you through the day, but they are not essential for your surviving!
Cash can save you from many things, the same works for bitcoins, but they can't save you from everything! Lower your expectations, you need to know what tool is for what, and what you can expect from your tool!

I don't know what I would do in this case, but I know that money would be the last thing in my mind! First take care of the family and later you deal with consequences, heath in the first place!

Thats why i make sure that my portable generator is always full tank and has a reserve gas.
also My powerbanks is always full charge so if ever things like this happens my family is ready for at least 3 days of having a electricity .

You just desribed 3 very important things of our modern society. Without these points we will meet A LOT of problems in our life

depend if you are not living 100% of those ,still there are  people that loves living in no electricity and internet and have no even Cellular phones.

[lienfaye]

These things are important specially the electricity. Unfortunately those places hit by the typhoon were unable to communicate to their loved ones because of having low battery and cant charge their phone.

I think lack of preparedness is one of the reason on why it happened. We can avoid this unfortunate situation if people or the government are aware of the possible aftermath since its a super typhoon. Evacuation at an early stage to be safe is a must but I think they didnt expect this to cause a worst situation wherein some people died and missing.

Like the electricity connection in the developed world the internet or satellite connection is also provided to the home or office by drawing a line under the road if there is no electricity then internet connection will be disconnected. Everything is done through the internet without the internet it would not be possible to do everything including crypto. Mobile network is one of the means of social communication use mobile network signal booster to solve all these problems of mobile network this device is effective in boosting the signal of your weak mobile network.

Electricity, Internet and mobile networks are not appreciated in this article, the problem is just with you. If you want to do a full time online job then you should choose a more modern place instead of a place where the storm can attack easily.
You can choose to live in the capital city or in some provinces less affected by the storm. it will help you avoid any interruptions in your work or cash out. In order to make a lot of money in this market, you also need to invest a lot in your work equipment.

does each disaster choose a place? I don't think so, disaster comes without knowing the city or modern place. It's funny if disaster can do that. there may be jealousy between the town and the township. And you think moving places is easy? I don't think so. just because they were concerned, they had to painstakingly rebuild a new place. It might be easy for you, but it's not for everyone.

[devil2man]

we say that electricity is the basis of everything, without it we would not have light, or working computers, then without internet we would not have immediate knowledge, without cell phones we would not have mobile communication, combining all these things electricity, computers, internet , mobile network / wi fi you get mining this is called progress

I think you missed the point of his statement. It's true you can't predict 1 year ahead that a storm is going to occur on such and such date, but it is quite obvious to most people that certain locations on Earth are much more treacherous than others. Data centers do this planning well ahead of being deployed. As do military installations, banks, new/broadcasting agencies, and anybody else putting sizable infrastructure down on the ground. Sailing out to sea off the California coast is not as dangerous Sea of Hoces.

It's confusing to watch those people in New Orleans scramble each year as a hurricane approaches and the residents discover that being below sea level right next to the coast is not a good place to be.

i can feel your sentiments here mate because for the first time i experienced that same matter in which the Power was cut about 1 am and runs till 10 in the evening ,and the sad part is even my powerbank has been drained and forgot to charge back that day.
When i need to update my family and friends because of that alarming Typhoon .

I think better to be always ready,Now i bought 3 powerbanks for reserve and will only be used in emergency and also thinking of transferring to strategic location sooner.

It is true that now we are in the digital era, where the internet and smartphones are the main things that must be fulfilled. And both of them
are very dependent on electricity, so life will not run without a combination of Electricity, Internet and smartphones. Because a lot of economic
activity takes place online, especially the pandemic situation forcing many people to finally work from home. This means that it requires Electricity,
Internet and smartphones so that the economy can run well. Therefore, choose a location to live that can be reached by the Internet and
electricity networks, it's one of the important things we have to do in the modern era like now.

[Chato1977]

We can live without this all , But surely not without water.

Typhoon is composed of water and wind but they literally can ruin those mentioned above.

How do you guys relate all of this to bitcoin?

This is an Off topic section so conversation here does not need to be related to bitcoin or not.


But asking us? Internet and Electricity is what we need to mine and everything to make close in bitcoin.

[bitterguy28]

How do you guys relate all of this to bitcoin?

I need Electricity to Open my computer.

I need internet to check and update my investment and trading.

by those means then i know that Internet and electricity is more than connected to bitcoin.

[Ucy]

I think If cryptocurrency private keys in different denominations had been safely printed and sealed on durable materials by trustworthy companies , crypto people would have been able to exchange them with one another in their community during such disasters. When the Internet, Electricity, Mobile Network are back they can then scratch off the seal to verify the keys on Global crypto Network.
Or they could use things like NFTs(in physical form esp) to find basic needs like foods, water, herbs etc in hidden locations for healing and survival.


There are countries where you find lots of people generating their own electricity, they could survive in  situations where there is breakdown of National electricity supply. And that could help them power their mobile devices and use some sort of local Blockchain/network to transact with one another. There should always be backup electricity generators just incase

Everyone also connected to the internet in someway, if there is a blackout or network down in certain area the whole city will stop working, but anyway with the development we still can resolve all those things as quick as possible.

By the way satellite phones can still work in the emergency situations right?

Imagine a scenario where kids and young men overwhelm barriers and things that protect society's infrastructures, and no one can easily go in and fix things. That's the kind of situation People, Nations and Crypto communities should be preparing for. You try to survive independently or with communities that are able to gather safely together to sustain themselves.
I think it's better to find a means to survive locally first,  Our regular mobile phones/devices could help in  this regard. Once a community has been safely established somewhere, you can then look for safe ways to link up with international communities
