Friend......WOW.

Appreciate the effort in your response, really, but you're just missing the point. Now you're just desperately grasping to make crypto sound useful in an apocalyptic setting, which it 100% is not, and we were not discussing anything like this in the first place.

Cash or tradable goods are infinitely more plausible and useful than crypto in any scenario where there is still a default monetary system functioning. That's just a fact.
