In the case of nuclear war you have other things to worry about Grin

If something like that happens, then you will need to use your fiat currency or gold or any other precious metals. I don't even think about this scenario. It's too far away, if ever.

Exactly. That's why we need to use fiat and Bitcoin in todays world. Somethings Bitcoin can't do compared to fiat and vise versa. We need to have some variety in the world.

If the internet goes down, Bitcoin is rendered useless, you pretty much can't do anything. But I doubt that the internet will ever go down, as in like fully shutdown across the whole world.

see it as avacation from tradins, since not only you but everyone else can not trade, so you did not lose anything that day by not trading

or are you an obsessed trader that must trade everyday?

face to face trades? Of course there must be a way to broadcast the transaction anyways. And as said on previous topics, if there is no internet service, we probably have bigger things to worry about.

Bitcoin network completely breaks down. no hash power, no node. no confirmation, then we have to go cash, like dollar, euro.
