That is true, and I was never saying the opposite. If I only had bitcoin in a blackout I would be fucked to be honest, gold silver and btc they all have their pros/cons and a mix of them would be the best right now. My point here has been that turning off the internet does not turn off bitcoin, and it’s an usable currency in a disaster, at least as much as gold.

yup.
btc doesn't *need* the clearnet; paper wallets + satoshi/xpub slips or radio mesh (LoRa, CB, HAM) still let you hand off a balance to someone else who can validate later.
same way calipers and nitric acid let you test a gold coin without a refinery.
just don't be the guy holding only one form of money when the lights dim.
If and only if you happen to run into someone with the know how. You people are delsional thinking that because YOU can do something, that others can as well.
Ok lets say its week 4 grid down. You try to buy something from me with btc. You couldnt even prove you have the btc you claim to have if NOTHING at all has power.
