Bitcoin is Apocalypse Proof, Say Doomsday Preppers.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

By its nature, Bitcoin is immune to the coming and going of the rest of the world that is unrelated to it. No centralized authority or country can affect it by its outward politics. But, does that mean that should World War Three strike or an apocalyptic event strike, Bitcoin will survive?

Bitcoin has shown on a few occasions that not much politically can scare it. On a more micro scale as well there are indications that those who know a thing or two about the end of the world, have backed the Bitcoin horse.

Collapse of countries, rather than nations
If the world reached a stage where there was no electricity, power, food and water for that matter, Bitcoin would hardly be on anyone's minds. But taking a step back, Bitcoin has shown its ability to resist in political upheaval, as well as aid.

There have been a few instances just this year where Bitcoin has come to the fore. The first bit of evidence was when the US was threatening North Korea and all global markets - barring one - felt the sting.

In August, almost across the board, markets dropped by about one percent with the escalating tensions between North Korea and the US, but Bitcoin only continued to rise.
