How is bitcoin going to go down, exactly? Is this doom to bitcoin coming soon, or you do not have a timeline for such bitcoin death?
Is this doom and gloom for bitcoin coming during our lifetimes or even in the next 50 years or even 10 years?
Internet down means Bitcoin is down too, as simple as it can be
sure.. bitcoin is mostly internet.. but not exclusively internet, and really there are not too many scenarios to presume large scale internet outages of such a scale to make bitcoin NOT work.
In recent years, I have focused on making it my practice to NOT plan my life around events that have low probabilities of happening, but instead to do the bulk (vast majority) of my planning and preparations for more likely scenarios.. has served me quite well to focus in such a way.
It may be down for you personally or more globally, temporarily or more permanently, but the outcome will be the same,
Outcome is not the same if there are pockets of access or even time periods of outages versus whole world outages.
and it can have pretty ugly consequences if it is to stay.
Yep.. it could... but again, not too likely whatever the fuck you are speculating about.
I really don't see any plausible reason why anyone would want to question that.
I don't question that total outage would have a big impact. But I am not going to assume getting to total outage very easily or under any kind of straightforward path, even if we have had a pretty BIG event in recent times with a virus and a seeming over-reaction and ill-focused reaction that is likely going to continue for some time, we still have a hard time getting to large scale internet outages that you would like to presume.
It can happen tomorrow,
You mean a solar pulse? Hm?
it can happen in a year, or it can never happen, but just the possibility of it, which is real and palpable, should make every Bitcoin holder think twice.
Well that might cause some people to only put 1% or 10% in bitcoin rather than larger allocations.
So fucking what?
No one should be putting 30% or 50% or some other stupid ass large amount of preparation into 1% scenarios.. that is going to get them to the poor house quickly... dumb asses.
If you are reluctant and you give some weight to outlandish scenarios, then you might temper down your investment in bitcoin from 10% to 5%, but it should not lead you to go to 0%... that would be retarded.. and sure there are retarded people out there, and they are likely not prepared for much of anything, including the upside scenarios in bitcoin.
By the way, I have no problem with preparing for both downside and upside in bitcoin, and all of us should prepare for both directions, but lame as fuck to be suggesting that anyone preparing for up in bitcoin is not adequately preparing for down, too.
That's basically the reason why everyone should have ready cash on hand (gold is somewhere down the road).
I doubt that gold is necessary... but sure, maybe have some gold, but does not seem necessary.
Good to have some cash and sure assets in a variety of places and other prepper stuff such as food, property and maybe a gun and some bullets and other stuff like that... ... don't go overboard but have some of those things. Yes.
It is just common sense and street wisdom. Shit happens, and ironically, when it happens, we are more often than not caught completely off guard as the coronavirus pandemic has revealed abundantly clear
Of course, corona virus has revealed quite a few supply chain vulnerabilities, but does not mean do not invest in bitcoin or to invest in gold... you are devolving into a bit of nonsense, and maybe we are starting to exhaust this topic.. for now?
