Hadn't heard of this project before. Kinda cool, though. I don't think I'd ever want to use a physical bitcoin instrument like this (electronic money is cool), but I like that they're trying things. Thanks for posting!

I think the point of something like this is to get some with the goal of never using them. I missed something like this when there was a more than 8 hour blackout in Spain (first time ever) #966046. Only fiat cashed worked.

Yes, in that case makes sense. But probably not for onchain btc. You can do something similar with ecash.

In any scenario I can imagine where power is out AND someone is willing to take my bitcoin bearer instrument, things have gotten so bad the power probably isnt coming back on.
