Will the internet survives? if yes, then bitcoin will survive.

But there will be no developer or users then, everyone is focused in rebuilding the civilization.

WWIII or its preparation started years ago. I guess its only a matter of time until escalation starts. One thing is for sure - WWIII, if escalation starts, won't take long....
That's an overestimation for the current world unrest, it's true the world is not a utopia yet but I guess a war between top nations is not close to occurring right now, people are becoming smarter and more reasonable regarding wars IMO.

Internet is built to sustain a nuclear attack. Internet will never go down.
Even a full scale area, there will always some area got lucky and stay out of the shooting and bombing, And they are standing ready to make good money.


Maybe iceland wont be harm by the WW3 but its certain that when the war broke out big countries will invade small ones with brute force and will destroy its infrastructure including the internet providers.

Yeah small countries will be surely invaded but only if the internet backing is kept safe. Nothing can beat our technology.

Bitcoin will of course survive it. The question is are you surviving the world war? Because Bitcoin is just digital.
And I dont think the world war will not happen so fast. It can maybe happen later after 50 years or something. Maybe longer.

We are talking about war and destruction of infrastructure. You can't expect the Bitcoin and blockchain will survive such disaster, because they are in direct relationship with electricity and we all know what can only one EMP can do.
If economic crisis strikes, mining will become more expensive, but you can't expect that will people buy BTCs if
they have troubles (struggling) with mortgage and debts..

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.

World War III broke out 6 years, huge disruption to everybody, there was limited nuclear bomb detonation in two smaller nations. Internet is in a state useable but not reliable.
Will Bitcoin survive? Will smuggler use Bitcoin to buy weapon, or gold to buy weapon?
in these conditions bitcoin will not survive because people only care how to survive them self and only thinking by himself how to not be famine also bitcoin will be worthless after world war III

World war 3 won't take place. If by some situation if it happens also as quoted by most users the weapon business won't occur with the use of bitcoin.

Will humans survive?

this,if there are no humans left there wouldn't be much point to bitcoin anymore,no?
of course many people will die. there will be chaos everywhere. maybe the money would be useless. I do not want a world war to happen again. it was very devastating for all mankind. better it did not happen

Why not? I remember 1 of Bitcoin Core nodes in the space, so even if internet has fallen down on earth we still have a backup in space. When everything back to normal we can use this without a problem. Bitcoin will definitely survive no matter what happens to earth.

Oh Yeah, bitcoin will survive, as a matter of fact, it will become even more popular. Since it will be the best way to smug every controlled substance, weapon, medicine, and raw materials.
I will image a spy who can remember multiple bitcoin private address in his head. Gold/silver is heavy   and shit, you need a army to carry/protect it around. But bitcoin, as I said, you can remember it all in your head.

Yes bitcoin will survive on world war III,but i dont think bitcoin will used for buying weapon or other war stuff.

What would prevent people from using btc in buying weapons in your opinion ? if bitcoin survived, then people will buy whaterver they want with it. and during wars people want to defend themselves with weapons. so it is clearly possible
