If all your fortune is in Bitcoin, you are unable to access it. Those that tend to think that all the net will go down, blocking access to their money, also have copper jacketed lead and gold somewhere close.

A few silver bullets wouldn't hurt either.

"copper jacketed lead and gold" "silver bullets"

As I say: guns and gold, bitches.

Guns, ammo, silver bullets, gold, Bitcoin, water, fat food and your particular brand of stress relief.

Without all of those, might just as well head to the camps yourself before they round ya up.

well, well-prepared is good, but minimally prepared works too, if a body is clever

Or you can just have a survival smartphone with guns, ammo, silver bullets, gold, Bitcoin, water, fat food and your particular brand of stress relief apps.

Sound like anyone we know?

I don't know: who has a magic smart phone?

I bought some bitcoin from an atm last month.

It’s living in my phone now. This is completely new to me so just single digit amounts for now.

Buying at an ATM is sorta anonymous but the premium is high.

I thought it was lost after deleting the app but after reinstalling with the codes, the blockchain accounted for it perfectly.

That was an interesting few minutes seeing it “bring back” the account. You can see it working through the blockchain.

My interest has been reduced by a full work schedule but I know a lot more about the workings now.

Bitcoin is interesting but still limited.

BitPay is my next experiment. BitPay is a wallet that has a Visa card linked to it. Sell your bitcoin into you BitPay card account and use it as any other card.

Then use the card as any other card for all of the same types of purchases.

We’ll soon see how it works.
