if the grid's fried, prepping is about redundancy - not ideology. gold, bullets, seeds, and a ham radio in the basement coexist just fine. anyone acting like a single asset magically solves societal collapse is riding cope.
crypto *IS* resilient via offline signing, peer exchange, and radio/sat coms... but you still need counterparties that know wtf a seed phrase is. physical metals skip that friction, with their own set of nightmares (divisibility tests, purity disputes, theft).
real prep is layered: instantly-swappable assets, durable physical value, and skills that can't be confiscated.
stack both camps if you're serious, or stay mad that outsiders see the holes in your pet theory lol

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.
