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?

Sounds like a job for ApocalypseCoin

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

As long as the Internet is up, Bitcoin will be running. But if you take the problem in another way, if survives in a mental way, I'd say no, because people will be too busy rebuilding the world to care about Bitcoin. They will be seeking food and water, because it will be survival, not the return of a normal life, and it will be like that for many other years.

If there will be a world war 3 I think it will not survive it because the wars are gonna be more digital and the bitcoin will get destroyed.
It will get destroyed because the networks are gonna attacked when the WWIII happens.

I thought bitcoin will be destroyed when people will try to use it to buy some guns and equipment for war and sruviving. Digital war is really good surmise.

If there is no reliability for the internet, Where is the point in having virtual currencies ?

Don't think it would, because the electrical grid would be a prime target. People nowadays are incredibly reliant on electricity, all armies know this. We've seen that in Irak and Syria, people are using generators, and you just cannot afford to leave them on all day. You stay in the dark, that means without BTC.

This is why gold and silver have more advantages than bitcoin.
I remember stories about diamonds and survivors from Nazi Germany death camps.
Gold was always been tradable for food and for water and this will stay this way in future!

I think full scale world war will not happen, but proxy war is likely. Proxy war means two relatively small nations fighting each other, each is supported by a mega nation.
In this case, Bitcoin is quite useful.

Well, if it's what actually will happen then I think yes Bitcoin will survive because internet connection is still up so the Bitcoin is still alive. But the problem is, would the people use it or not?

Exactly, when WW 3 happens Bitcoin and Gold will be useless, our currency will be essential stuff to keep us alive like food and water, and maybe guns too Sad

You know what else is scarce ?
Ammo
Maybe we will even use Ammo as currency just like Metro series Tongue

Wars were waged and before and people who had money and gold, had a better chances, this is proven many times through history. Only if you expecting total annihilation than water and food will be main problem and everything else will be irrelevant. Gold will stay always main token for trade!

I will tell you what everyone thinks here. If nuclear war or any major conventional war will outbreak, then bitcoin would not be a priority for people.
Survival will. I don't have enough bitcoin to be worried in the first place. I guess if you are bitcoin millionaire and you have huge amount of bitcoin stored you can be worried.

Will humans survive?

this,if there are no humans left there wouldn't be much point to bitcoin anymore,no?

I think in some cases if the ww3 has ended and not deploy some nuclear bombs.we will survive
.
So if we still survive i think bitcoins has a use but not that to fast just because of the proccessing of the especially bitcoin manning companies who operate bitcoins.

Bitcoin could theoretically survive even if all mining machines died, you just would need to mine manually:

of course, the hashing power would drop quite a bit :p but the network can adapt the difficulty, that's the beauty of Bitcoin, it adapts, it cannot be destroyed. The biggest treat is trojan horses like XT or Classic, not laws against it, bombs or anything like that.

It will survive if one of the miners/users of bitcoin's computer survives. There might not be people to operate the computer, but it could still be running.

If world war 3 breaks out by some chance, bitcoins survival will depend on how the war is going to effect the internet and the people using the internet.

As bitcoin is completely depending on internet, the cyber distractions will affect the growth of bitcoin. But I don't believe world war 3 will take place.

if we all die in the WW III bitcoin will die because there will be no one left to use it also if have like anuclear exploision it will frie all the electronic stuff so we won't have no electricity or internet again bitcoin dies

The main issue is the electricity and the internet service, because Bitcoin is dependent in this two elements to survive, however i don't think that all the humanity will die even if WW III happen because it will finish with a gainer anyway
