Topic: World War III and BTC - page 9. (Read 7493 times)

I have a feeling the internet would be a pretty broken concept if such events ensued...

But, up, I guess?

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

-Albert Einstein

WW3 Really?

Anyway a true world war would obliterate bitcoin since it relies on the worldwide network. In a world war the internet itself will be shredded to pieces and perhaps never be rebuilt into the free network that it is today but stay fractured and under the jurisdiction of local law like china or worse.

When you say WW3 do you mean a full exchange of nuclear weapons between major powers?  Because if that happens the "currency " anyone will accept is food, medical supplies and fuel.  Those who are unlucky enough to survive to see the beginning of 10,000 years of blighted earth.

If you are envisioning something less than a double digit exchange of WMD,  then pretty much most of the current powers will still be around and international trade will continue.  Everything will be different but it will be the same.  Look at pre and post WW2 for clarity on that problem.

If you do not envision an exchange of WMD between major powers, why are we talking about this?

BTW, a simple guideline to who are major powers (today) is permanent membership on UN Security Council.  Regional powers are of interest to their neighbors but not the world.

For example, Israel engages Iran in Air Sea war to cripple WMD capabilities.   No shared borders so no land war. Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia will not be volunteering to be battle ground.   Dominant Air Sea power in region is US. US allies and China will press hard for US intervention to limit or stop conflict.   Russia will attempt to befriend Iran with limited success.

Minimal impact on world trade six months after end of war.

Feel free to send BTC if this was useful.    

ww3



ww2

I have a feeling if WWIII ensues, there will be a limit on the internet. Spread updates, false news  and what not. No doubt all traffic will be monitored everywhere.

if  WWIII will happen so will the bitcoin skyrock,

no way that it could go another way .


internet will never be unavalibul.

Nope. We all know after an acopalypse it will either be poker chips or coke bottle caps that we'll have for currency ;-).

If it happens i wish i could survival it to spend my BTC

That would likely follow, as all the sheeple would either stop being sheeple or stop being alive.

I bet Bitcoins will become the world wide currency, after the apocalypse of course.

"Rly? First Time I've heard of that."

As you can see from other replies... it's NOT new... at all and many people have been following on what's going on with the world military and financial movements.

"I don't know where you live, but there certainly are none of them here."
I don't know where you live... but it seems you are REALLY disconnected with the rest of the world - I will show a few links at the bottom of this reply just to give some evidences for people who don't follow up on what's going on... but again - just look at other replies and you will see... this is real and is happening right now.

Generally speaking, I completely agree with you and this is a fair "one liner" summary for a very thorough investigation and research leading up. I won't go long about this right now as I want to hear more opinions first:)


Very educated person - following up on what's going on and you got my respect sir, well done. The list of 5 you just mentioned are really the main events going on as we speak and they all have great chance of happening during 2013, while the 5th one has increased chances to happen before September this year, after that we have the 4th option (rated by chances and date) and then the rest.
Again, I'm being very general here, as I think people should research on their own and I want to hear more opinions. but really - great reply sir.


The thing is... think about a post-war world, where over 50% of the world's population is gone... Some form of payment system that unites the world should appear and help the world recover. After such a war, there is a very good chance of a "united world" instead of just "USA" or "European union", therefore there will also be a need for a single "currency" to work with.

Again, I won't go deep into this right now, just wanted to clear my through in regards to this.

I also promised some links,
So here you go (notice the dates to connect dots):

I just listed a few... if I wanted - I could list a few... hundred..

That's it for this reply - thanks for everyone - I'm very impressed with the level of people on this forum... and we are just on the "newbie" section! nice:)

I can't sleep at night 

And lets not forget that there's nuclear weapons in every part of the land and the sea, many of which we do not know the whereabouts.

I don't know how we figured out how to sleep at night, but we did it.  Mostly by forgetting.

Doubt it.

Even if the internet survives, what benefit can bitcoin give? The main benefit of internet is to facilitate communication and make deal (exchange). The actual exchange of good still requires unrestricted border movement and transportation infrastructure intact for it to happen.

In a total war scenario, one can not buy basic necessity 200 miles away from where one is.

 

yeah it really depends on how big the WW3 is, if it demolishes most of the worlds civilizations and makes the internet useless then it'll be as useless as any other form of wealth

Right now there is a lot possible starting point of world war III.
1..Japan and China >sinkaku islands,  rich in oil and gas.
2. China & Taiwan and Philippines> panatag shoal and spartly islands both rich in oil and gas, Us will be drag because of mutual defense treaty.
3.NorthKorea, its brewing. In times of war 90 percent possibility china will help north korea.
4. If Israel attacks Iran. US and Russia possible china will be drag  to war because its one of their biggest oil supplier.
5. Syria. If Israel attacks Syria. Russia and US will be drag to war.

If the internet survives then cryptocurrency will survive.

The idea is, America + Israel are aiming to attack Iran, as we're still in this war for oil/petrodollar dubbed "kill the terrorists".  Russia & China are saying, if America or Israel attacks Iran, they're going to attack back; China's also at war with America through currencies, but I'll let you do your own research there.

Thus, WWIII.  Or something close to it.

But we will die due to an epdimic virus before, but that cannot happen because we will die due to an asteroid impact before, but that cannot happen because aliens will invade us first, but that cannot happen because terrorists will nuke us all to death but that cannot happen because the zombie outbreak will be before but...
