I think that Bitcoin can't survive only the disappearance of the Internet.
If after WW III we will still have Internet, I don't worry about the future of Bitcoin.
In fact, if all other currencies disappear because of WW III, this can even help BTC to become mainstream Smiley

It can be used to buy weapons as even gold was used for the same purpose if internet does survive by then. I don't think WWIII will take place in the next 5-10 years so I doubt think bitcoins would survive so long or they would be a preferred way to buy weapons illegally.

I think I have read somewhere that there is an ongoing project to launch Bitcoin satellites in Earth's orbit so in the event that the terrestrial Internet network fails the satellites will help with broadcasting the transactions on the Blockchain. It's very likely there are underground bunkers holding the most precious data or it could be uploaded to the existing satellites in an emergency situation. WW3 will have undoubtedly a devastating effect on the planet with so many advanced weapons of mass destruction already in possession.

Suppose that as a consequence of two smaller countries going full nuclear, half the world supported one side, and the other half the other, but thanks to the optimal strategy mathematicians on the centrally planned side, escalation to M.A.D. was held off by some sort of compromise including diplomatic handover of secret plans to make such things as internet modem-routers without the backdoor flaw used to read those by the cleptocratic oligarchy on the other side.  So six years on, we have two branches of the internet which mainly keep off one anothers' proprietary hardware on pain of getting bitten by the automated intrusion deathword dispensers which both sides managed to hide in immutable parts of designs passed to one another at the time of the great crisis.  In that situation of there being an Eastnet and a Westnet which cannot be linked, I think that each half would continue from the blockchain, but only doing transactions within its own half.  If ever the two blockchain forks could see one another, the shorter one would get annulled by the longer one, so both forks would need an extra twelve lines of code to formally hardfork and diverge to two branches from the blockchain of satoshi.  No doubt the oligarchs would assert that since there are more transactions going on and slightly more blockchainlength in their fork, the genuine productivity improvement payments and strictly truthful advertising signature campaigns on the other side should get annulled for being less profitable ... and so a new cold war and a world of daring physical intrusion in novel stealthcopters and other unheard off new vehicles becomes possible, for those heroes of the optimal path who have been given orders to introduce a hard fork against the wishes of the rich people on the other side.  To get those twelve lines into the other side's uᴉoɔʇᴉq nodes is a prerequisite step so that opening the new berlin wall and going to world peace and prosperity will not annihilate all the bitcoin earned from genuine productivity improvements and strictly truthful advertising.

WW3 will definitely kill rest of human dignity, and human idea will vanish. Survivors will be to busy with daily problems how to find food and shelter, Bitcoin wil be lost in this world, as many other positive achievements of society. This will look like more to stone age or like scene from apocalyptic movies..

It will survive some how it a country is not that affected by the war or when the war is over when all the economy of countries is down bitcoin will shine as the new money.
I think if the third world war exploded. I think that all countries will intervene. it's just my thoughts. because almost all countries wanted to show the world that their country could become a new superpower
nothing can be expected from the third world war for the development of bitcoin

Many users will hedge their currencies into bitcoin or any other commodity which is risk off.

In this scenario, a lot of infrastructure will be destroyed related to bitcoin, however due to its type of decentralisation, other users will keep the network up and in this way it will continously survive. Many cold storage coins could be lost, but the value of Bitcoin is independent of this.

Bitcoin networks and businesses could face losses, but bitcoin as a hedge would do well.

what's up with all the doom theories these days?

is there any plan for bitcoin price that these topics are being spread?
No, in my opinion, it's the yearly cycle of "Russia will destroy our country 2016 NWO Illuminati plan antichrist causes Planet X false flag so FEMA can behead our population" posts and videos.

There is no plan for the price, people just like talking about this because they feel they need someone or something to "fight" against so they feel like their lives have meaning. Just like third-wave feminism fighting the "patriarchy" and defeating the "evil cis-gendered privileged white male scum".

I would be much worried about if mankind will survive a third world war to be honest!!
So if Bitcoin could survive or not in such a scenario wouldn't be the biggest concern!

yeah I would think that people would be more concerned with their life than money. bitcoin will not be developed. 3rd world war may not occur
The nightmare that is very frightening.

If humans survive, Bitcoin is likely to surivive too. Perhaps its usage may be halted during war, perhaps war will end electric supply and internet, but some paper wallet is likely to survive an then Bitcoin being put again into function.
Those bitcoins were stored in hard drives, if war explodes most likely those hard drive won't survive it, same to the paper wallets too
On war most people will salvage everything in someone's house to survive and those wallet most likely will be trashed and completely useless
Unless you reside on the nation that is neutral/ won't take part of the war you still have a chance to store your coins there Wink
Though i don't know about the bitcoin network itself Sad

It's right though, but it's also have a risk stored your bitcoin in paper wallet when world war III happened. and i think bitcoin will survive but the price will decrease so much.

During the past world wars mankind has survived, so no worries mankind survives which has the intelligence to rebuild the technology if something goes wrong.

That's your idea of a world war 3. Yet there are other scenarios of a world war, which not necessarily combines with a world wide destruction of all infrastructure, but with local spots of destruction. Even in WW2 there were a lot of countries without or with just a little impact on infrastructure. People there only knew about the war from the media, just like today. We are watching a coalition of nations bombing countries somewhere in the world with civilian victims and we call it "war on terror". We watch suicide bombers killing hundreds of people in Israel, Irak, Syria etc almost every day for decades now. Did we salute these poor souls or did we stop for a moment of silence for them? Hell no! But we are all "Charlie", "Paris" and "New York". What will be our answer? More bombs on civilians I guess, which lead to more suicide bombings of terrorists and so on.

Let's see the definition of "World War" on Wiki:

Quote
A world war is a war involving many or most of the world's most powerful and populous countries. World wars span multiple countries on multiple continents, with battles fought in multiple theatres.

Based on this definition, we have a WW3 since September 11 2001, which is still ongoing and our Bitcoin network is still working fine.
You really think nobody will not use nuclear bombs in the war and this war will stay clean..? If only one A Bomb exploded you can expect nuclear winter in whole world. Nobody wants to loose this war for the world, so they will loose it together. You cannot expect for WW3 to be different from WW2 or WW1, it can only become more violent and destructive, the stake i very high!

Your statements are hard to understand and when I try, I find too many false arguments.
1. Why should there be a "nuclear winter in whole world", when only one "A Bomb" was dropped somewhere? That makes no sense.

2. WW1 started with the assassination of one person :
Quote
The trigger for the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, by Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. This set off a diplomatic crisis when Austria-Hungary delivered an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia,[10][11] and entangled international alliances formed over the previous decades were invoked. Within weeks, the major powers were at war and the conflict soon spread around the world.

I think this situation is not too far from the action after 9/11 and also the situation with IS right now. I think we can call USA, Russia, France and Germany "major powers" which are "at war" right now, so why not simply name this "world wide war on terror involving major powers" WW3?
I think, it is because we fear to let the demons out as soon as we name it.
