If you don’t have your monetary power secured virtually, then your physical security is always at risk. You can’t leave nor protect yourself.

One of the most compelling cases for Bitcoin is for refugees trying to flee a war zone.

With gold, people with guns can take it away from you. They shoot you and take everything.

With Bitcoin, you are much more flexible:

- you can program it to pay them a bit before you go and a bit after (time-locked), so that they let you pass, but if they kill you, they can’t get everything.

- you have the ability to lie/hide how much you have

Bitcoin is first order beneficial to economic security, second order beneficial to physical security.
