Maybe not as good as gold, but what is?
Exactly, so why bother with an inferior cryptocurrency?

I guess there are two ways to reply to that. The first is that you should probably ask someone who recommends crypto, which is not me.Exactly, so why bother with an inferior cryptocurrency?
All these cryptocurrencies are nothing more than highly speculative fantasy values without any real countervalue.
- No stability, their "value" changes by every second.
- No countervalue, OK, other currencies dosn't have something stable anymore since the gold standard falled, but there's absolutly nothing around except some data on the internet.
- Nothing physical, all is only some theoretical bits and bytes.
- Works only by internet.
- Can't pay any bills with it.
In my eyes cryptos are less than an weekend in Vegas: speculative, non-realistic, phantasy with an big chance to lose your money - just without a free drink and watching the boobs of the showgirls.
Without electricity, no computer, no internet.
No internet, no cryptocurrency.
Yep, that's what I'd want (FOOD!) if I was running a gas station after SHTFI've never tried, but I don't know if they'd take our gold coins either? They may be more inclined to take cans of Campbell's soup?! (I think I would!)
I don't really care which it was. This board has an Ignore feature.

Ran across this. I was checking out some silver and gold you tube posts. Also, Dave Ramsey, a local guy who went national, says gold and silver are bad investments. Don't see it.
They have to pay for the gas that they buy, right? So a lot would depend on whether Exxon is going to start accepting canned food for wholesale gas.I've never tried, but I don't know if they'd take our gold coins either? They may be more inclined to take cans of Campbell's soup?! (I think I would!)
You're talking "normal times" when they're going to be re-supplied by corporate...the wholesaler is gone! I'm talking SHTF and this guy is doing the best he can with what's left in his underground tanks. In my opinion, I think he'd want to barter for food, ammo etc. rather than any currency, paper or precious metals. Food and ammo trumps precious every time when you want to survive!They have to pay for the gas that they buy, right?

As long as people acted civilly and didn't want something for nothing, you could be a great help and would be highly appreciated, but if a group decided they wanted what you had, it could be a real pain to defend, for sure.If I had a Gas Station after the SHTF I'd be running - - - - - - Fast
@Dave_V He doesn’t have a clue that the Exon, Shell,Valero, Mobil is just someone that pays for that name.You're talking "normal times" when they're going to be re-supplied by corporate...the wholesaler is gone!

Don't presume. Your SHTF scenario is not the only one. You can imagine the SHTF and there is still gas. Less of it, less often, etc. But still some.You're talking "normal times" when they're going to be re-supplied by corporate...the wholesaler is gone!
