i couldn't agree with your comment more. of course we can't believe the fear-hype coming from the msm... even if there is a grain of truth to some stories, their agenda never serves our well being.

as far as EMP goes, we just can't know what kind of truly high-tech weaponry our governments possess nor would we be able to prevent them from using these. so it seems rather fruitless to try to discern how/why/what could happen in such a case. if one copy of the BTC blockchain survived such a disaster we could get back up and running regardless.

i like to think of cryptocurrency as our ability to "opt-out" of the debt based economic systems. an extremely powerful vote that further destabilizes the legacy systems and strengthens open decentralized ones created by and for the humans of the planet. the fact that it is a smart move for profit and a hedge in the near future is a wonderful consequence!

ultimately it is knowledge and ability (with a good dose of positivity) that would allow one to prosper if things became anywhere near as crazy as the msm would have us believe.
