With rising tensions between the US and Russia, I can’t help but wonder: what happens to our crypto if a nuclear war cuts off internet?

Btw, I am in Europe..

Curious to hear your thoughts.

If a large scale war happens then you can forget about speculative markets altogether.

We go back to the internet of the 90s. Small groups form, build networks for local use and start linking communities over laid fiber or wireless.

In such a scenario, the energy used for much bitcoin mining would probably be better served for water and other projects.

But, if they did still operate the network, it would become splintered until the miners can “ talk” to each other and they reconcile the chain.
