In case if there still an Internet and the bitcoin network did not collapse, people may tend to trust it more than their local currencies during that predicted war. but I do not think when a new world war happen people will think about money as they think about surviving

if there is internet bitcoin will survive because we can do transaction, but what is the point of having bitcoin while you are in war?

slowly bitcoin will be forgotten if you are in war,so the conclusion is, yes bitcoin can survive but it will slowly dying until nobody uses it anymore

Yes your right we will forgot the use of it .the first we will think is our safety on that situation.. Ithink its half way.because bitcoin use world wide so the country that is not affected they can continue the bitcoin..unless bitcoin managing breaks down by war.

If internet is unreliable, 6 confirmations is no longer enough. If you (or your continent) gets disconnected from the main miners in China, you'll be running on a smaller side chain that gets replaced once you reconnect.
Bitcoin will survive. It's just as unreliable as your internet will be.
Internet will had a big use for us if internet ang the country who produced bitcoins ,i think we can't make it safe. Then if thw ww3 is on going we will think first the safe place for us to hide for our family.we can't use bitcoin there also if bitcoin comany was damage and all wallets also .i think our bitcoin will disappear if that happens.

Bitcoin would survive a hypothetical WWIII scenario as long as someone had the last blockchain instance before the internet was to inevitably collapse. Hypothetically this would allow for that person to then broadcast the blockchain via radio, but that might be a trivial pursuit.

Basically as long as someone has the last instance of the blockchain, Bitcoin would survive.

However, blithering on about a WWIII scenario is useless, as there is a next-to-no chance of it actually occurring.

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?
Bitcoin can survive World War 3 only if it becomes mainstream and is adopted by each and every person on the surface of earth.Nobody can predict how many people would be alive after world war but bitcoin needs a digital infrastructure for it survival which,I highly doubt,would survive World War 3

I wish that there is not a new world war, but if it happen again i don't think that Bitcoin will survive unless if the internet services survive too as Bitcoin is working only by the internet network.

I'm not really sure how BTC will survive WW3 but what I can think of is WW3 destroying the internet, and the go signal to execute the New World Order (conspiracy theorists unite). With regards to BTC, it may survive if NWO will allow it to, for I believe that behind every BTC transaction is something we are about to know.

If we have WW3 that's the end, i wouldn't bother worrying about anything else, currency wold mean nothing, commodity would be guns and places to live and things to eat. Food will probably be the most common needed items out of the lot and will become worth alot, also water and fuel. Our planets already stuffed up, the weather is going crazy and animals are dying. If we start using neuclear we only hurting ourselves in the long run. It will all be over then, planet earth died Sad so yes btc would die and so would paper money. You can't eat money or gold or use gold to defend yourself so weapons would be a better commodity.

I'd bet on bitcoin would survive - among the 7 billion people there must be a group of people determined to keep it live somewhere in hideaway. As the difficulty would fall dramatically, they could mine tousands of coins, but I doubt if BTC would be worth anything after the war is over.

well first of all i honestly believe that people are smart enough not to start such stuff once again so im pretty sure there wont be such thing in the future

but if the ww3 happened and there would be any survivors im pretty sure bitcoin could still be mined by solving easy math problems on paper as its difficulty would drop really hard


Yup, if there is WW3 there will be nothing left pretty much or we will all most kill our self off the weapons we have to day and they had in the first two war's well there is not much to compare to imo . but that's how i see it . I'm glad we kind of had control over the a bomb ( the US ) or we would be done, by now . yes i know were that came form or what country.

as you say it would Polly all be done on paper and pin, there won't be networks like we have now , bitcoins would live on etc in a different way ..... but be worth any thing at that point, remains to be seen .


why should gold have more value than bitcoin in a nuclear war like that, if anything nothing will have value, if not the essential things like foods and water


The only reason gold would have more value is you can see it, hold it, and bitcoins are virtual, other wise they Polly would be our trading, money, cash etc but with no way to make them and trade them > network ,they would be worthless and we would lose our internet and all else in WW 3. you can bet food and water will be the top things for any one and everyone to seek out, that's means more fighting over control for what might be left etc etc.

We really must concentrate on better discussions, WW3 will be the most disastrous. We cannot expect we will continue this way of life after such event. And bitcoin have no chance same as internet.
Electricity will become very scarce and majority of people will have problems, how to get to not contaminated food, but this is perfect playground for gold!

This is as bad as should I buy a house with my bitcoins if the price goes up!

WWIII will be the end of humanity as there will be no pulling back from the brink,this is why it has never come and most likely will not come in your life time. Each generation needs its war to each them how bad it is and the costs,but another world war would prove nothing and most countries realize this now.
Bitcoin would survive if the internet was still in place and that would be very unlikley due to the investment in cyber intelligence and hacking.

If internet will survive bitcoin will survive too. But after all who will need bitcoin? People will try to survive. Main needs will be food and drinks also safe places. Nobody will care about internet.

I did not expect the third world war will occur, but if it occurs, may be at the time bitcoin will be the currency used during the war, because maybe that would connect all the currencies in the world
Don't worry, Donald Trump will start it Grin

In all seriousness, i don't think it will survive
Bitcoin is stored Inside our Hard drive, server for an online wallet
Imagine if a bomb was being dropped and destroyed that server or our paper wallet
Congrats, you just lost the private key and all the coins stored inside
So yea, let's hope no WW3 will start in the near future

It could probably be the main currency of the world aside with gold

Well it could be as the currency of a certain country that is affected by the war would be useless,so bitcoin might survive and be a national currency by that time.
