    I’m trying to envision the panic as crypto bros can’t get into their online wallets.

    I’m going to stick with my strategy of growing barley and running a still. Pretty sure I’ll have something men will give me their firstborn to obtain. Then I’ll use my army of drunken, mutated postwar babies to take over the tampon factories, and gain the support of the other half of humanity.

        Corn is an absolute b*stard to mash compared to malted barley.

        Id stick with the barley. But you’ll need time for that to grow and harvesting without technology would be a lot of work, so actually stockpile a few tonnes of sugar so you can make neutral spirit for gin and Molotov cocktails in the meantime

        You still need the network to process transactions; if the internet is down then your local wallet is unspendable unless you create a local side chain with your own nodes and get everyone who wants to transact with you on board.

        Then the apocalypse must continue because you’d never be able to reattach to the main chain

    Cryptocurrency is the only thing to save you from the very specific apocalypse in which society crumbles but somehow the internet and the electrical grid keeps working.

      Which is why they are all in on space internet. The world may have crumbled away, but at least the Whales and bots can make number go up.
