First of all, I always think WW3 would be Advance and Artificial Intelligence War. Meaning smart computers will fight for us and they will run big logical data processors to identify enemies threat. To get this done of course all nations will build Artificial intelligence and computers with ability to decide Who What Where logic! To keep up in the War they will have to keep the electricity alive all the time. Man might build huge sources of power in coming future to run the smart CPU. I believe bitcoin price won't go down but it will come up! If government builds an agenda which is more futuristic then they will think of money which will be first need to rebuild the abolished nation. Paper/hard cash would have been thrown already, burnt for heat sources and people will try to stay alive and not try to get money in such period.

So if at one side people are throwing and are disinterested in hard money and on the other hand side government is validating Bitcoin/cryptocurrency as powerful source to build nation then it's price might come up like never before.

However, statements are again misleading as there will not be any hard cash and no defined standard currency then price of bitcoin will be decided how? For example, today we know bitcoin is very valuable as BTC = $ 1200! But, what in futrue when hard cash won't be there? BTC = BTC = Neutral price.

 

I suppose you have never owned gold, gold is very easy to carry around that is why it was chosen as money by almost any civilization in the world, you can carry hundreds of thousands of dollars in your pockets.

sure but cash need internet too, because they need to account how many coin you have in your bank account, and to do this they need connection, you can't just go to the nearest atm and take your cash, cash would be just paper without value if internet go down pretty much like everything else, gold would be a choice, but it's not easy to carry around a great amount of money with gold

anxiety may all just come from the real world. Well, most likely also bitcoin prices will rise, because of the many advantages that can be obtained from the bitcoin. but, probably bitcoin will only be used by the country concerned. The greatest anxiety only in the city you live in.

If this day happens, and I don't hope that this will happen, then the Bitcoin will die because the Bitcoin needs the internet to be used.
I think that everyone will start to use cash and gold as a way to pay for things.

If world war 3 breaks out i think that the last thing you will be worrying about is wither your bitcoin have increased in price, more than likely after the nuclear fallout settles you will be worrying about wither or not your kids have clean water. 

When we face global natural disaster or world war 3 - then believe me, thinking about keeping your bitcoin or stash of precious metals will be the least thing you will do.
I learned war stories from people who lived though World War 2, to keep their lives they left everything they own behind: money, antiques, houses, everything valuable.
Western civilization is too soft nowadays, people think there will be time to backup your bitcoin wallet and pack your things when the war will hit  us...

For power greed dominance?

Bitcoin is still not mainstream so if  World War 3 breakout today,people will certainly forget bitcoin and switch to their national currency.Governments will also  ban bitcoin and come down heavily on those who use it.I think the kind of weapons that we now have are sufficient to wipe out almost half of our civilization and without basic infrastructure,bitcoin is useless.

The movie Incendies - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incendies was the saddest film I saw about war. All her life was shattered and end up in Canada.
Before she died she left a wiling testament for his kids and the kids discover things they didn't knew about her mom which was rape during the war and her rapist was their brother who turnout to be a torturer of the prison camp. Warlords are the only who can see where things are going. If war broke, Bitcoin will be displaced and may no longer be valuable.

Have you ever watched war images? If there is a war, the bitcoins will not be in the same place. Your computer, your house, your car will not be in the same place.
Maybe you will not even be alive. Your family, you can lose everything you love.

Bitcoin is a money hidden in digital media. If you can not access your digital media, you can not access the bitcoin.

Wars are never a good thing and a Third World War would plunder the nations and its systems into turmoil hence everything that ever existed including Bitcoin will suffer the consequences therefore it's possible Bitcoin can collapse should a Third World War break out.

The war back then would be different from the war that's going to happen in the future. Back then, we have tanks, guns, and all those stuffs that you typically see in a movie. But today, we have nuclear bombs, and other deadly/lethal weapons that can destroy a whole nation. Probably most of the ISP towers would be already destroyed after the next war. Since bitcoins need the Internet, it would take a couple of months before all those towers will be repaired.

Another thing, people would be waiting for the electricity lines to be fixed. Since you need electricity to charge your phone/laptop, you wouldn't be able to use bitcoins at that time. Probably the same fiat will be used by most of us right after the world war. After a couple of months, there might be a problem with a nation's fiat so they'd choose to use bitcoins instead.

of course bitcoin would suffer, but it would become an even better alternative for the cash or fiat that we are having right now, because bitcoin needs only internet and nothing else.

If a country with a big nuclear arsenal began using it then there is not a reason to think they will limit themselves somehow just to the nations they are in conflict with, they may decide to bomb everyone out of spite.

Not at all because the owner of blockchain.info can't just take away your bitcoins. There's also no way of finding out if the person that owns that particular wallet has died from the world war. There are wallets that have never been touched since 2013 and then gets their funds moving again this year because the price has been increasing a lot. The owner of blockchain might assume that the person owning that wallet is already dead when in fact the owner was just holding for a really long time.

You already answered you question but for me. If world war 3 will happen probably those investors or those holders of bitcoin will be died and their bitcoin will be stocked on their bitcoin wallet and for sure if the ceo and the creator of blockchain will be rich for sure.

Sorry but I never said that all humans will never be affected from World War III, it was certainly influences like hunger, loss, damage, etc. But effects of World War III will not make bitcoin prices fall. If happen World War III all currencies around the world will experience very high inflation and even some countries will be acquired by other countries that maybe causing the country's currency becomes invalid. The world crisis which makes paper currency inflation tends to cause bitcoin prices to rise because inflation/hyperinflation. Not to mention the trend of people are scrambling to buy bitcoin to avoid inflation. Because a limited number of bitcoin will cause demand is much greater than the amount of goods on the market. Bitcoin prices will definitely experience a sharp spikes, so will not be affected overall which makes prices fall.

If World War 3 will happen(i don't hope it will) the Bitcoin and other crypto currencies will drop in rate because like you said it most people will use cash or gold.
And you actually answered  yourself if the servers get down people can't use the Bitcoin.

On my own oppinion people will be turn their money into digital currency first thing is bitcoin can be lift easily and it can be access world wide even where you country you go and just remember the email and password you put there. Bitcoin can be easily exchange into fiat if you want too
