Ok, It's Bit Coin instead of big coin, They were talking about stocks, metals,etc. Yes, I agree that it will be a test of a cashless society if it is electronic. Sweat equity and bartering, selling your own talents works for me.
BitCoin is not going to be a good call if the internet goes down globally. If remnants remain active and there are miners and block chain clients still running elsewhere (preferably where you are heading to or are at) then it stands a chance. as a SHTF option? Not a good plan in my book. And for full disclosure, I do have bitcoin. Not many but some. Looking to acquire more but not at 45.00 per BTC. I wrote up an article on BTC for members of an association to give them the general overview of what Bitcoin is. That link i provided earlier is most of what I'd presented. The monkeys got it first and free. my synopsis for the monkeys, get your preps in order first, then if you want, add Precious Metals .. then you might be ok to play in BitCoin thing. Definitely the wild west and not for the faint of heart. One may need to consult your doctor to see if your heart is healthy enough for bitcoin. I'm just a geek, and barter with it among other geeks with bitcoin. If they became worthless, I'd be sad but it wouldn't effect me financially nor prepwise.
No thanks, not for me. FRN's for dealing with the sheeple and barter / PM's for the future. Just a matter of time...
