absolutely none of this is true, including the idea that you 'have to solve increasingly hard math problems'https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1384040569710682113 …

that's how it's falsely explained but that makes it sound way better than it is; you have to waste enormous amounts of processing power and energy on a guessing game.

Also, it isn't *that* easily transportable. Bitcoin transactions take around 10 minutes to clear, which makes them pretty useless for minor and retail transactions. Also, it's a form of money that ceases to exist if something happens to the internet architecture.

I have met people who literally tell me they want to stock bitcoin because paper money will become worthless if the government collapses...and I just wonder what government collapse they have in mind where the internet and giant bitcoin-mining server farms still work.

But also, financial planning for social collapse is dumb. People have done it exactly the same way for 2500 years: you bury a bunch of precious metals (in the form of coins, usually) to come back for them. You can tell it doesn't work because we keep excavating the coin hoards.

Yes, but that's my point - bitcoin offers little real disaster-avoidance premium compared to an FDIC-insured bank account. What it does offer, of course, is wildly fluctuating valuations. Volatility is not good for disaster-savings!

Very few bitcoiners have a bullish case for bitcoin that rely on societal collapse. Bitcoin on-chain is not a retail payments network. It's extremely fast to settle versus the comparable alternatives (Fedwire). Visa et al doesn't provide final settlement.
