No matter the scenario, bitcoin. Unless all electronics would die suddenly, but in that case you're living in a world where currency will be the least of your concern.

Tough question but can you elaborate on why #bitcoin and not #monero ?

(I said #monero but it can be anything else)

Distribution of nodes & ability to mine with any type of hardware without limitation.

As soon as Bitcoin gives us the ability to mine without any type of blocksize limitation 🀝

A few of many reasons: because it is the hardest to create, has an actual limit to its supply, and there's no ceo that can just change its parameters or functionality.

what?

hardest to create?

aren't the supply of both bitcoin and monero known?

or do you mean energy investment in mining?

also

monero has no CEO....

and also also

a hard cap is another tradeoff that nobody is sure will work out. there are good reasons to have tail emission.

There is no best, any of them could have issues.

If you pick a cryptocurrency, electronic infrastructure failing could easily prove you wrong.

If you pick gold or silver, you could easily be refuted by mass confiscations like they did in the great depression era.

If you have to pick one, there would be a "least bad" one, but I'm not sure what I'd pick. Maybe silver.

I don't have any silver nor gold at home πŸ₯²

I am cooked πŸ˜”

If you're curious, war nickels are probably the cheapest silver things you can buy in a small amount

You could look into Goldbacks.

How about a crypto pegged by gold or silver?πŸ€”

The question ends up being how to design it to disincentivize gold thieves and incentivize gold custody

I hold some PAXG which was a shitcoin leaving these problems unsolved last I checked πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

silver could work

I bet Gold would be the best. Since gold is most independent from technology. But depends on the amount and time you want to store the value.
