Present. Just less often.  Have my focus elsewhere at the moment.

It's a modest start, of course the Chi-Com's and their vassals here will go apenuts...but you are right, want to make a go of something the best way is to invest locally.

Small Italian town goes to a local currency during C-19 hysteria.

https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/italian-town-creates-new-currency-cope-covid-19

Should just stamp own silver coins as silver is a natural anti-microbial material for small transactions...make just a couple denominations in gold...use a LOC for larger transactions...don't need to laminate paper...expose it to the sun...or a UV light.

This is serious...BIS is THE clearinghouse...

https://twitter.com/SwanBitcoin/status/1372859090943246340

...this will eliminate the dollar and every other fiat currency without exception...and they would naturally want "banking" to be done in one crypto currency...pretty sure independent crypto would be in their crosshairs next.

Only way around it is for those with means (cue China, Russia etc) to hold court in their own clearinghouse...

Either way, trade would get messy...disputes could quickly boil over into shooting wars...and underground barterworld would commence...

Given the dark days we are already in...seems about par for the course...

How does BTC get used when the grid and web go down?

You can't stop the signal Mal

It would need to be taken down world wide.. If it stays up anywhere, then 3rd parties will have to bank it for you -  you call them up, or write a letter/check and they move it around and send a statement.  If you do partial outages, then it will  be all TOR/Blackmarket /Encrypted VPN stuff, but it   will still happen.


But taking down all of the power and all internet connectivity would cause most people under 30 to lay down in their beds and never get up again.  They don't know how to live without a working cell phone and social media.

No kidding!  And a bunch of older folks as well!

We got caught in a miles and miles-long traffic jam on Saturday (8 car pile-up ahead) and as we inched by, I checked what the cars' occupants in the next lane were doing:  on their phones.  Inch up, back to phone; inch up, back to phone.

Today, while traveling, I saw one, in particular, blind texting with one hand, the other hand on the wheel.

I can't wait for TEOTWAWKI.

I miss the old days...cars with engine bays I could crawl into and tinker with on my own...devices not beeping at me telling me I have to do something...people goofing off in cars the old fashioned ways...

O/T- On the latter, all-time scariest thing I saw back in the day...a gal in morning rush hour traffic obviously steering with her leg and both hands busy - doing make up in the rear view mirror with her right hand, cup o joe in her left hand...heater hanging off her lip...(and I think her hair was still in curls)...

Me, upon witnessing this - "What the F, are you shi****** me?!" (Accelerate with extreme haste and get way ahead of that train-wreck-in-progress)

The creature above probably has better survival skills than mommies current basement dwellers and their ilk...

No fan of gamed fiat...but gamed digital is every bit as if not more scary than it!

All governments are corrupt...and the corrupt will not be friendly to the common people but to their allies and fellow oligarchs...

This cannot end well no matter what...
