How are doomsday preppers using BTC in their plans?

[BitcoinFreak12]

There wont be a doomsday, but there will be massive riots and certaily some civil unrest (vigilant mobs, vandalization, street riots,etc)

Yet  i dont think the the BRICS will be affected as much as the Western World, communist China even now hosts the majority of the Bitcoin servers and mining stuff.

So if the $$$ AND €€€€ collapses i think the BRICS will take over, and the BTC wont suffer that much, instead it will rise to 1-100 million dollar / BTC as the american billionares will try to save their wealth, because the government will put sever capital controls, bans gold transfers ,etc.

So i think that China, Brazil and the other BRICS members (Russia i`m not sure as it relies too much on oil), will survive.

Also Norway,Australia ,NZ, and the mini states (Hong King,Singapore,Macao,etc) have also a high probability of not being affected economically.

But definitely the EU and the US including Canada will be decimated, the US debt bubble is just too big and the western world cant handle it any longer.

That's a pretty good summary of the future but the least of our worries will be civil unrest. The only problem with that theory is the predictable behavior of New Rome (North America). The Romans only know one way to bring their economy back from the brink of distruction and that's by gearing up the war machine to full production. That can only leave a wake of distruction worldwide. Even if the individual battles remain conventional it will massively effect worldwide electronic transfers because any good battle plan includes crippling communication channels.

So what BRICS+Iran+North Krorea  vs NATO + South Korea + Japan +Commonwealth

I dont think so, there may be tensions building up between Russia and USA, but i dont think there will be any war, its mostly rhetoric, and hopefully the US citizens now know that the war is not a solution.

Also if they get into this was, then the US soil wont remain intact, because in all previous wars, they never get hurt while other countries were destroyed to dust, in this war they wont.
So where will the banksters hide if not in the US, so they cant afford to get into a war with Russia because they both have ICBM's and stuff like that.

Nah, that's too conspiracy theory, they may be reckless and powerhungry but they are not that idiotic to get into a full globar war, especially now that we have atomic bombs, its just too risky.

A global war isn't really necessary to support the economy with increased production. Multiple smaller theaters with confined conventional weapons will work well enough to dig the superpowers out of the hole they've buried themselves in. The U.S., the USSR and China have already fought proxy wars using pawn countries. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Cuba and several middle eastern conflicts were supplied by the superpowers. China dumped masses of armament and technical advisors into Vietnam during that war. I think mutually assured destruction works and don't believe any future war will become nuclear. That's not to say that a lot of the worlds infrastructure can't be destroyed along the way. Bitcoin will suffer in parts of the world when that happens.

Unfortunately, the U.S. citizens are not really in control of their military structure. The U.S. propaganda machine works pretty well and can fend off the citizenry until well after the damage is done. I've been watching my country shit on other nations for more than 50 years and I don't expect it stop anytime soon. As bad as the economy is currently I don't really see how we can avoid a war. We need war, the economy needs war. The powers that be think they can kickstart the economy by using oil reserves to dump the cost of a barrel of oil. That simply won't be enough.

Well the only "justified" place to make a proxy war now is Syria, maybe they come up with some excuse.

The problem with that is that Putin clearly said that it will not tolerate any more American "interventions" in the middle east, the drone strikes are probably justified because it doesnt violate any war protocols, but ground troop invasion are probably off limits.

Other than that i dont think they can come up with another excuse to invade some other country, because the world will know what they are doing.

Especially since they dont want to give back Germany's gold, Europe has a really bitter looking face towards USA.

I feel sorry that your government is so warmonger, but i just dont see what excuse it can come up with to go into war with another country other than Syria.

[Kprawn]

Looking at the financial growth of some countries, it will be a economic shift in power.

WAR has no value, if everything is burned to the ground and we have seen, what depression after WWI and WWII has done to many countries.

It might even be a WAR between countries for WATER. Without water, nobody can live, water in my opinion is the most important resource in the world, and people pollute it like, we have a unlimited supply.

When you look at this, Bitcoin would be your last worry.......

[FattyMcButterpants]

I'm somewhat a prepper too, though I don't have much BTC. I don't think BTC would survive long against a major catastrophe.
I'd rather own valuables and bank accounts in several different countries. If something bad happens where I'm currently staying, I can just move elsewhere and keep on living the way I'm used to.

This is true. Things like electricity and internet access will likely become more scarce in the event of most doomsday scenarios which will push up the cost of both. The higher cost of electricity (and to some extent internet) will make mining less profitable, in addition to the fact that the lack of internet access would make bitcoin very difficult to spend (which is what ultimately gives it it's value)

Oh man stop crying about water, i`m really fed up with this water scarcity phenomena.

So many green propagandists bitch aboutthis for decades. How the f*ck can there be a water scarcity?

Every major town is built on or near a river, you can get water from there, and with a fkin pot and a few matches you can filter water out in 5 minutes.

2/3 Of the planet is filled with water wtf man, with a cheap filtering system you can convert salty sea water into potable water.

I`m just so tired of this green BS of water scarcity, just look around people, its very easy to make clean water, its everywhere.

if internet fails bitcoin will fail

but that is not going to happen

Are you a Doomsday Prepper?

How are you using BTC in your plans to prepare for any doomsday scenario?

I am not a doomsday prepper but I have looked around for who is actually accepting BTC in the field of metal things, seeds, and nonregulated things generally.  To be prepared and to do so without someone looking up your shirt or down your pants does not a doomsday prepper make, I just happen to like what I like without you liking to know what all it happens to be.  There are some folks here and there, you usually have to just look.  Truth be told, BTC may not be the most ideal choice for those kind of purchases, but it may be a much better possibility next year (in 2015) due to the growth of stealth technology and also the coming of, you guessed it, Zerocash, which when released will make many bitcoin users able to sleep a bit easier.

Now the question then, can you get things like seed, food, most tools you would need for ordinary work, some tools you'd need for bench work, reloading and so forth, in other words, things you might need for most daily this and that, with BTC?  Yes but it would take quite a bit of digging to do so.  To do so with OpenBazaar (a decentralized market system based on bitcoin) and similar systems would be a task at the moment because those markets are emerging - in any given moment there may be somewhere between 50 and 70 percent (growing) of the world's economy churning through (mostly) undetectable (though not exactly anonymous at the moment) SystemD.  In this manner when all is said and done, in less than 15 to 20 years' time, truly and well regulated economic systems which also include well-traced units of currency (where said traced regulated units are not disposed of quickly) will likely become less than 5 to 10 percent of the world's economy (variable, but this is a fair estimate, examining developments in the USA, Russian Federation, Belarus, North Korea, and a few other choice places). BTC is not anonymous.  It does not function in an anonymous way, although in 2015 it will be interchangeable with token systems that will indeed be anonymous and for which the consensus will be developed differently.  One example is Zerocash, which will allow purely transparent bitcoin users to exchange with the (anonymous token) Zerocash users, without any conflict between the consensus systems in Zerocash and the consensus systems that also guard against double spend in standard bitcoin.

Doesn't mean one isn't prepared for what happens day to day tho.

doomsday prepper shouldn't care about this shit.
They normally aren't the air-heads you find around this forum.
They buy real stuff not las vegas dreams like bitcoin.

[AllTheBitz]

You couldn't the internet would be down in a doomsday situation.

[BitcoinFreak12]

Yes but the btc cant lose any of its value since, nobody can change it back into dollars.

I mean, if the internet goes down, you cant change it back, but when it will come back, it will be the only way to store wealth safely, and it will remain the only currency in the world.

Even if you have places that accept bitcoin today, it does not mean they will accept it tomorrow (or the day after some doomsday scenario happens). Even if government fiat is no longer accepted such merchants are not going to accept bitcoin in the event that the network is not generally operational and the merchant can exchange their bitcoin for other things of value. It would be likely that any kind of doomsday would result in overall communications systems (the internet) to generally be unavailable which means transactions cannot be broadcast and miners will not know which blockchain to mine on

Also Norway,Australia ,NZ, and the mini states (Hong King,Singapore,Macao,etc) have also a high probability of not being affected economically.

A war in Syria is Justified! Well at least the MSM didn't fail on twisting your soft mind.

Assad compared to the groups he is fighting is the moderate one. Syria has long been a target for the west to cause trouble because Syria has close links with Iran and the west has hoped to drag Iran into a war for years now. Most of the fighting in Syria is done by people from outside the country. The much publicised gas attacks were as we know later done by Muslim groups hoping to blame Assad. If you want to know in a simple way who is on the side of good ask the Christians in any Middle Eastern country. Assad has always protected them until now and have been largely slaughtered.

Is Assad a perfect guy? Nope but just like Saddam Hussein sometimes it's the relatively moderate dictatorship that holds the extreme Muslim groups back and containing them. You only have to look at Assad and see he is a moderate, before this uprising western leaders would regularly meet and have good relations with him. What Assad did was when there was the Middle Eastern uprising in his country he was quite tough and did go in hard. But those he went in hard on are the kind of Muslim groups we are fighting in Iraq etc anyway.
