[citation required] Bitcoin will be pretty useless if SHTF.

Recently read an incredible story of someone who lived through absolute lawlessness in Bosnia... Even gold/cash lost value quickly, replaced by barter/trade. His main advice was to stock up on batteries, lighters, weapons, and ammo.

Sorry to go off topic but since you mention Bosnia and it's near Christmas time I'd like to recommend reading this:

The section on "Background and Writing" tells an amazing story.

To bring it back inline, maybe a prepper needs a cello too.
