Oddbean new post about login | logout It kinda baffles me how many comments I get from people saying Bitcoin isn't suitable for a currency because of its vulnerability to a global EMP attack. ... is that even worth making a 60-second de-bunking video or should I just let that stupid hypothetical slide 😏 ?
Too silly to respond only to that.. but you could do a video on how Bitcoin stacks up in a doomsday scenario. Ragnarok-testing v gold, fiat.
I know @NVK did a proof of concept for sending BTC via ham radio... we can hand crank that in an apocalypse!
Not worth it. Waste of video
I'd let it slide. That can be debunked in a moment's thought and we don't need people who don't think ruining Bitcoin's good name.
Might as well make a video about what happens to bitcoin after the heat death of the universe. The clowns will tell you the same as with the EMP: "AHA, I knew bitcoin was doomed".

Send it!
Could be fun to do some visuals to call out just how ridiculous the hypothesis is 🤷🏾♂️
