My dad is somewhat of a prepper. He grows all his own food, produces all his own. Electricity and is off the water grid..

His argument against Bitcoin is always EMPs shutting down the electricity grid and the conversation, kind of just stops there because yeah, sure, if the electricity goes, no one is going to be using Bitcoin. Duh.

I think bitcoiners tend to be this interesting niche of Optimistic Preppers. We see the world going to shit, but like a young girl with a crush on a fuckboi, we "say I can fix him."

Prepper mindset: mitigate against possible bad outcomes, but meanwhile keep going / pursuing opportunities.

Doomer mindset: no sense making the most of things, it’s all going to be over “soon” anyway.

Gotta be careful not to let your prepper mindset lead to doomerism.

That's kind of my point. is that most preppers tend to also be doomers. It's a small subset that I actually think they can make a difference to fix the world
