If there is a "deadly solar storm" I think losing bitcoin is the least of our problems.
Haven't you seen the movie "2012"?
Just kidding about the movie of course but yeah, like I said there would be much more urgent issues than wondering how much crypto coins are doing right now.
In situations like this it's all about resources you can eat, drink and live on, not something you can't even physically touch.
Exactly! A complete internet blackout would certainly cause major disruptions across society. Without access to online communication and financial transactions, people would struggle to connect, share information, or conduct business.
We'd likely see a resurgence in older technologies as folks scramble for alternative ways to interact. Using landline phones and radios, even sending letters through the postal service are communication channels that could regain prominence, at least temporarily. For financial transactions, physical currency would probably become necessary again since online banking credit cards and payment apps wouldn't function.
But beyond the inconveniences to individuals, an internet outage poses risks that could have catastrophic ripple effects. and Emergency response systems often rely on internet connectivity, so medical, fire and police assistance could be dangerously delayed or unavailable. Transportation networks like air travel depend on online coordination potentially stranding people away from home. Supply chains that deliver food, medicine and other life-sustaining goods also lean heavily on internet-enabled logistics, threatening shortages.
So, yeah! It's kind of a freaky thought when you actually stop and realize how screwed we'd be if we lost internet access. I mean, sure we got along fine without the internet for thousands of years. But good grief, can you even picture modern society trying to function without it? It would be total chaos.
