You kid, but that's a serious attack against crypto, which is that the value is dependant on the existence of a sizeable network with diverse functions.

Whereas gold in the ground is shiny rocks in the ground. You can say, wait out a tax on gold by burying your gold.

Right. No crypto or your money in banks will work once that EMP from (virtually) inevitable nuclear war, Carrington event, societal collapse etc. hits.

Hint: We’re globally headed to The Collapse (with capital C) now. See climate change, resource scarcity, water depletion, or just ecological overshoot.
