In the "end times" where computers stop working and we don't even have electricity, your dollars in your digital bank account will be equally useless, and dollar banknotes will be used as fire starter.

Bitcoin was never designed as a post-collapse currency.

Dollars work without electricity. Gold works. Bottlecaps work.
