 Purchasing power go up every 4 years  
 So solely as a value store? As in, the same could be said for hoarding gold or any other real asset with limited availability? 
 Gold doesn't give you purchasing power like bitcoin. Gold bars are heavy and i would have to go to a location to sell gold. Real estate i cant take it with me. Cars suck. Art i would need to find someone that i can burn for the painting. Nothing beats bitcoin in any aspect. Nothing beats bitcoin  
 Sure, but when all the electrical and communications infrastructure is knocked out you won't really have much Bitcoin to trade with. 
 That's not gonna happen in my lifetime  
 It has already happened many times in various parts of the US from spans ranging from a few hours to a few days. I also don't deal in absolutes because they're inherently inaccurate. 
 Look that doesn't scare me at all  
 And tgats when you will have to forced to learn how to transfer btc through frequency and ham radio sooo we aint worried qbout the grid  
 Yeah, that's not a thing dude, I promise you that. 
 Ok believe that  
 Tgis is a technology that can not be stop no matter what  
 It's part technology but there's a major cult aspect as well, which is where the actual price is coming from. 
 If it's not a cult, explain to me which algorithms in the protocol solve the double spending problem. 😂 
 Now you just trolling. Have a bliss day  
 Just like Christianity; I don't have an issue with the object at the center, it's the fan club that skeezes me out.
