“All kidding aside, though - if the SHTF and world governments collapse, all the bitcoins in the world ain’t gonna help anybody - same as with government issued currency. At least the tangible paper currency is still good for toilet paper, if nothing else.”
Agreed. I was trying to point out that both are equally worthless in SHTF scenario except for wiping your a**.
Dollar is of course safer and more stable but bitcoin is a tool to avoid scrutiny from corrupt governments worldwide. It is merely a method of exchanging value that 2 people agree upon without involving any government currency.
Saw a video ad about AMLBIT, described as anti-money laundering bitcoin. Sounds like government appeasement at least, if not scrutiny, no?
