And so on and on,
Keep researching

Is there any news article or such you can link about this? I'm interested in reading some more on the subject.

The war will start in the middle east: North to Israel is where the danger is right now (Hizballah and Syria) then, after the attack vs Israel begins, the rest of the world will have to follow and get in the conflict. Since Russia/Iran/China are backing Syria, when the US and European nations will get involved as well, it will be a conflict escalation into a WWIII.

So the middle east is where all eyes and ears should be pointed to and the recent 48 hours show it's happening right now as Hizballah said they are going to start a war vs Israel and Syria joined them saying the same thing.

WW3 is less than a few months away. The bubbles in the US are getting ready to burst, they need to shift the blame. war, nukes, bombs, chemicals, we are all doomed

Economics down, war is a good excuses to stimulate it. Terrorists are always everywhere and anytime.

I hate ALL religion with a passion!

OK perhaps the TV has brainwashed me enough when it comes to the nuke thingie..I admit : >

Nothing bad about muslims. If something, it's the religion that bothers me, not the people.
It was talk about war country against country but I just wanted to make as an example, that if extremists (of any religion) get their hands on big-ass bombs, it can go bad as well. Religion hunting down other religions like never before, etc.

To the educated person who research what is REALLY going on with the world there is almost no question of if there will be a WWIII and I do believe future historians will point out that the date in which the war started is previous to the one stated while you read these lines. The "starting point" of a war is not with the first nuke, go research WWII and WWI and see what is the date "decided" to be the beginning.

Now, for evidence and knowledge about what is going on you can research on youtube, google and newsletters... you will see it's happening right now, the stage is almost "set" completely for it to start in a scale that will make the average joe and not just the educated person say it's happening.

So for me... the question is not "if" it happens... I meant this post to be focused on what do you guys think would happen to Bitcoin during such a war.
I will go further and explain what is "such a war":
A war in which the biggest nations fight financially and militarily using all means they got. Nukes/Biological/Chemical where the first attacks cause 30% of the world population parish and then during the next 10-12 months another 30% parishes from radioactivity/diseases etc.

I think the Internet is one of the few things that will survive... as, btw, Nukes don't destroy all that much of buildings and surroundings... don't get me wrong... it does... but it hurts Biological "targets" in a much greater radios than it hits buildings and infrastructure.

So, what do you think, is it safe to use BTC as a means of payment during such times?

If you have questions for me, or you want proof etc... After you have done your homework/resaerch, I will be happy to provide you with links and information. But please don't ask for any of that before you took at least 20 minutes of your time to research on your own.

You are watching TV too much, There hidden hand that orchest what your mind think. Muslims for example, are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them.

Why Islam? Thats the media influence, you have been brainwashed. I prefer too use the IRA (Catholic extremists) as an example!

Andy B

The thought of war gets me really scared nowadays.. The leaders of the country I'm from (Sweden) has admitted that the past years of reduced funds to military and defense has led to that in case of an invasion, we will not be able to defend ourselves.

There sure are tension between many countries.. And the crazy terrorist groups are very dangerous as well. If extremists of the ideology and religion Islam, for example, get their hands on some nukes some really terrible things will happen.

Hive mind

we are in wwIII

its just a lot more urban and state against the people war


wwIV is the next one

WWIII is happening now.

Team America World Police is getting the job done 

I fear that with WW3 comes a loss of internet/network........

The Armory is closed but there are other websites still open that sell the same stuff.

Ok, so the U.S. routinely sends money to whichever government or rebel group it happens to agree with. Say, hypothetically, a group of U.S. citizens wanted to support a different rebel group since they disagreed with U.S. foreign policy. Say a Women's Church Quilting Group decided to do this because the particular rebel group the U.S. Gov't was using their tax dollars to support, was engaging in mass rape of "suspected government agents" (teenage girls taking photos of protests on their iPhones, true story, guess where) as an insurgency tactic.
Their bank isn't going to let them wire money to a "terrorist group" in Oilistan. Where does bitcoin come in? Well, the group they are trying to support decides to accept bitcoin. Voila! Not only can money be instantly transferred from across the world, but it can then be used on Tor websites to order weapons, and it could be sold OTC to buy other things like food/medical supplies/etc. Another consideration is that now this "rebel group" or government can secretly contact other governments who may support them vocally but be afraid to actually wire them money for fear of repercussion from Western powers. So these countries' intelligence services can use bitcoin transfers to keep it anonymous.

All of this stuff is highly illegal so of course I don't do any of it myself nor do I condone behaviour that might be considered treasonous. But this is how Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies could play a role in a world war or, in fact, any war.

It would be easier to get out of your war torn country and make it to a neutral country with bitcoins than it would take to get out with gold or money.

And it would be easier for family to send money to their family members under attack.

Imagine the jews in WWII having access to Bitcoin to bribe their way out or be able to pay for things while on the run.

Bitcoin IS WWIII.

Bitcoin requires electricity and an Internet connection, and it's difficult to imagine they would remain constant and unaffected in case of a global conflict. Then, from what I've seen, even with my very limited experience of war, war is about survival, meaning that only physical goods remain valuable. When there's only one bread left in a shop, the shop owner will only sell it to the guy paying with hard currency.

True, but this is an isolated, plan coup and very short term. Its one shot, hit or miss; success rate varies wildly and average is a coin flip: http://www.uky.edu/~clthyn2/powell-thyne-JPR-2011.pdf

In Bitcoin's (and internet's) current state, I can't see it being a real factor in a lengthy World War. Perhaps if a nation conquered the US, then any US Resistance Fighters could use BTC to fund themselves. Though supporters of BTC and the resistance would still be few and far between, and at the current size it would be pretty easy to trace involved parties methinks.

Off note: Isn't the Armory closed down?
