RE: Should preppers have Diamond (DMD) coins or Bitcoins (BTC) on their survival doomsday checklists?

Haha! Youre probabaly right, in a wild wild west scenario, life is not so happy and extremely hard knocked...but once the dust finally settles, and hope returns...and the sun starts shining upon humanity anew...and trading starts between communities, there will be no need for cash...gold might be too hard to defend, but cryptos and blockchain will provide...if you have internet and a laptop, DMD will work for you as on of the means to facilitate trade. By design it will. And thats all this article is about. Thanks for sharing your intriguing thoughts!

Yeah. I suppose you're right,... about there eventually being a "new birth", at least. Hard to say what kind of "society" will grow out of that or what kind of tech will survive, if any.

If the whole world is sufficiently plundered and/or destroyed by the hopelessly fearful, then there's a chance that not one iota of advanced tech will remain once "the dust settles". Should that be the case, it will be up to the survivors to take steps towards rebuilding the infrastructure or not, and a lot of that decision will come down to whether they're generally accepting of (re-forming) communities or prefer to stick to more of a nomadic lifestyle, which might sound far-fetched, but I don't think it's too unlikely considering the level of hell that they'd face before the sun starts shining again.

A lot, perhaps most, of human behavior comes down to conditioning. When you've been trained by the environment to hide from or kill people passing by, seeing them more as monsters than fellow humans, it isn't going to be an easy process to start opening back up to them.

Then again, there is a slight chance that my cynicism doesn't align with reality... fingers crossed.
