Given the tyrannical way that ALL of the western governments are currently slamming down on the internet and all forms of communication, having a back up plan for when the Internet goes down in your town/country is always a good idea. Some people will never be interested in Bitcoin by itself but if you introduce some anti-censorship concepts into the deal, you might have a real rebel on your hands! 😉 We should also be asking ourselves "Why?" are the governments doing this, it feels like something really bad is just about to hit us and they don't want us putting up any form of resistance - which is probably the best reason why we should! 😉
