Do you think all the power will ever be out?

no, that would have to be a global catastrophe that is not caused by people. if people want to shut down the world’s power supply, that’s impossible, too. people are incapable of coordinating in a grand scale.

as long as the sun still shines the way it has & not everyone relies on the same grid, it will never happen in totality.

I agree. I know my little grid will be one of the last to go down.

Or Ecash or seashells

ecash is still digital, no?

i have my _money_ on seashells & shiny rocks

Yea but something you can use without the internet. You can still use bitcoin. There have been growing adoption with it in Africa.

no internet, but still requires power. it will have to be tangible.

So what you’ll just hold a bunch of cash on hand for a potential dooms day?

Actually curious not shaming

yes. what other existing alternative is there?

metals, ammo, seeds, lots of things have local trading value.

🙂

of course, anything else but from the government

there is a store near me run by a big, good looking Korean guy named Song. he will take almost anything of value as currency. its pretty fun. 🙂
