My emergency and bug out kits contain food, water/water purification, first aid, compass and analog maps, cash, ammo, plus silver coins and some amount of gold. However, I also have barter networks I already nurture. If shit hits the fan I may have to adapt, but I will not have to start new from some lost, useless situation
Your mention of gold and silver gave me an idea: what if Bitcoin were our "internet money" — that is, what we used for making online payments — and then gold and silver were what we used face-to-face?
reply
Not face-to-face, but emergency barter money. bitcoin still works face-to-face except for the shtf scenario.

Yes, but gold/silver currency has advantages over Bitcoin:
- Untracability by default (even if you mark a coin, you can't tell who owns it when you lose sight of it)
- No TX fees
- Doesn't require network access, so you can exchange currency in the middle of nowhere even without cell data

LOL! No transaction fees! Ever heard of the premium? 😂😂😂

No.

I recommend you do more research before making declarative statements about in general, but especially when saying something has advantages over bitcoin.
Go buy some gold or silver, and then tell me your thoughts.
