Topic: World War III and BTC - page 6. (Read 7506 times)

Sorry, I should have added that I would take along some basic tools to build and hunt with. I would also look for a place with an abundance of freshwater rivers and lakes and get the hell out of dodge (high density population centers).

It wouldn't be a solo effort, but my family is quite small. The goal would be to get as far away from people as possible and live in a completely self-sustaining way. Money of any sort would be completely unnecessary and I imagine Bitcoins would still be inedible at that point. The weapons would be for protection against any chance encounters with 'the bad guys'.

I live in the USA.  I would think that midwest, low population states like Wyoming and Montana would be one of few places "safe" from the effects of a third global war?  Where do you live?


With these materials, how would you intend to feed and clothe yourself + the family you are protecting (if you don't have children, let's include your elderly parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc)?  I would think it would be easier to find a quiet place in the world to farm/sharecrop, work, trade, etc. while the various nation-states fight it out. 

Back to my original question: where to go in the event of WWIII if one would like to stay out of the crossfire?

When and if total war happens, I'm looking for weapons, ammo, protective gear, and a boat...not bitcoins, or any currency, or even gold (unless I can make bullets out of it).

I don't know where you live, but there certainly are none of them here.

Here's a question for you all, then:

If WWIII does begin - with the West/EU pitted against the East/Eurasia - where would you recommend taking your wealth (gold, silver, bitcoin wallets, litecoin wallets, etc.) and going to, for safety?  Where do you think would be a stable locale for yourself and your family to work and make a living while the world blows itself apart?

PS: Wheee, my first post here! 

Countries don't start wars, bankers do. Remember, there is nothing more lucrative to a bank than a war. World War III will be started by bankers. The countries participating are just pieces on the board.

Actually if oil prices in Europe skyrocketed due to being cut off for example the american based oil producers would simply prioritize selling to Europe. Free market and all that so of course they will sell where they get the most profit. Its also fun how you always expect that everyone wants your help and you base that on WW2.... when the whole world had to band together against Germany.... Which is in Europe.... And is currently a much nicer country then America ever was.... I honestly dont see a problem with the Atlantic Ocean being between us right now. Could perhaps have been wider but one can dream.

I gave you ample evidence on Americas lack of morals, leadership, preparedness, priorities, realistic view point and training. The fact that you exist and X country dont has nothing to do with your "greatness" and you just claiming it is outright childish. A country does not need to be successful or unique in any way to persist. Cant you see how silly you are going "haha we lived longer then youuuu"?

You claim that Germany, Italy and Japan does no longer exist? They are far greater now then they ever were. Who do you think is leading the world in stuff like Technology, economy and social development? Who the heck needs oil when we get our electricity from green energy combined with nuclear power plants?

I believe USA will be the one to START WW3. No one else seams to bother except some arab countries that have not had peace since they invented the stick.

So the basic thrust of your arguement is US forces had self-exploding tanks, bombers who could not hit a beach, and generally incompetent leadership.  I believe you also ranted about WWI helmets, ugly casualty rates, fire bombing of cities, atomic weapons and fearsome enemies flying bamboo airplanes.

So, if the US forces were as incompetent as described why do the WWII nations of  Germany, Italy, Japan and USSR no longer exist?

Seems to me that despite all the faults, failures and just plain incompetence that you have so carefully located, the US soldier, sailor, airman and Marine simply kicked ass.  Something about being willing to say "NUTS".

So my question still remains. 

Why should the US protect Europe, Japan, Taiwan or Korea?  Why should the US protect the Middle East oil fields when the majority of that product goes to Europe, Japan, and China?  What does the US care if heating oil prices in Europe skyrocket?

If you really think the US is going to get involved in your WW3 scenarios, you better explain why the US will be interested.

Arrrg Pirates from somalia!    I'd hate to see em have bitcoins

If you look back through history we are actually living in one of the most peaceful periods ever recorded. I don't see BTC contributing to a WW III in any way.

Bankers expand monetary supply at their will, economy thrives, credit expands. Then they remove monetary supply, credits default, banks get it all. Then they usually get rid of "useless eaters" by war, and make money by supplying weapons and grabbing everything that has value in the longtime: gold, natural resources, farmland.

Now comes Bitcoin, banks won't get it all ;-)

+1

The only war you'll see will be the silent war of money

Why does everyone assume WWIII would be like WWII?

Wars are very unpopular these days and I think the only wars we are going to see between the G8's would be economic or coldwars.

None of these self interested leaders would risk political suicide by going to war with any of the other majors. Will always see the next tier of countries duking it out with influence from the majors.

Lmao this was funny!

lol "rumors of war" who be saying these things?

World war III lol I can't wait.

impossible to say

If WWIII happened the price of BTC would be the least of my concerns

What exactly USA send back to the middle east for that fat brown oil arrows? And who is a terrorists sponsor that way?
