Well, if you were running for your life it would be better to have your seed phrase in your head than $$$ in the great Afghan "bank".
I wonder if you could even remember your name in that situation.

I disagree, but only somewhat.
There are uncanny parallels with Rome, though.
~450-470 years of the Republic, followed by ~450-500 year of the Empire: ~200 years of imperial ascendancy and 250-300 years of decline.

Not looking forward to a collapse: I really hate being a warlord and leather chaps+helmet can chafe.

Ditto.

Taliban took over Afghanistan, BTC can fix this /s.

Wonder how much that fake "President" got out with. Doubt it was bitcoin though.

I think things hollow out from the inside until the whole tree suddenly collapses. USSR was a great example: In 1984 they were going to be around for a thousand years. Then gone. The Afghan thing was "quick" but not really: The Taliban have been paying people off ever since Trump sold the people there into slavery. Wonder what he got out of it, but the point is the hollowing out went on for over a year. Then the first puff of wind and down it goes.

The US still seems to have some resilience, but it is being hollowed out nicely. Not looking forward to a collapse: I really hate being a warlord and leather chaps+helmet can chafe.

^^^ means US$ is toast as world reserve currency, probably got less than 5 years left now, maybe just a couple

Empires die slowly at first, then all at once. Plan accordingly.

Some might argue that US became kind of like a "limited' empire somewhere after WWII.
We had maybe 1776-1945 (169 years) of the republic and 76 years as a 'limited' empire.
Roman empire started to decline at approx 50% of time spent as a republic and declined for almost as long.
If drawing direct analogies, US might start to decline about now (maybe Afganistan is a marker of sorts) and continue for another 70-80 years.
Not 5 or a couple!
I expect the process to be slow, and i would welcome it to be slow because we all know what happened after Rome collapsed: 900-1000 years of 'dark ages'.

EDIT: BTw, here is a very important opinion piece (about bitcoin, laws, innovation, etc) from Niall Ferguson, which many conservatives and even moderates listen to:

If we have learned nothing else from the past half-century, it is surely that the best way to win a race with totalitarian rivals is not to copy them, but to out-innovate them. Make the wrong decision at this historic turning point, and we shall be interrupting a much bigger bonanza than Nixon did.

Bitcoin no longer a risky investment?

Quote
It seems that the same arguments have been made about digital assets, even as a long-term study by VanEck found that bitcoin had exhibited lower volatility than 112 stocks of the S&P 500 in a 90-day period and 145 stocks year-to-date as of Nov. 13, 2020.

Fuck Elon, fuck big players.

It seems to me that ants are the ones that will take us to the moon and beyond. Ants work hard, they don't fuck around, and they don't have twitter accounts.

With countries like Nigeria where over half their population is under 20 years old and 32% of Nigerians owning cryptocurrencies (the amount of Bitcoin is not specified.) it will indeed be the ants who drive adoption and acceptance.

Nigeria's Central Bank devalued the naira by 24% last year with a further 10% planned for this year adding impetus for Nigerians to find a safe currency to protect the value of their cash.
