Just how useful digital payments (including bitcoin) are in a war scenario with limited Internet access breaks my maxiness.

Sure keep little bottles of liqueur and cigarettes for bartering, but having stash of cash is prob a good play. In an unstable world can we afford to not have physical currency?

Yes. It is in no way a useful replacement for physical cash in this scenario.

Have you checked the article? This solves the problem a bit right? Also i remember sealed physical coins, but that’s way harder to realise globally and without internet
