In this video, I discuss whether Bitcoin could survive a nuclear war.

I conclude that (like cockroaches, viruses, and cannabis) Bitcoin is extremely difficult to completely wipe out globally. There are many tens of thousands of copies of the Bitcoin blockchain globally distributed and held by nodes worldwide.

Just a single copy of it would be sufficient to reboot Bitcoin, once the electricity and semiconductor plants are restored.

By contrast, it's not at all clear whether government money, government paper, stocks, bonds, or other "paper wealth" would survive a nuclear war. And even if they did, it's highly likely that they would get partially or entirely confiscated as part of a global financial system reboot.

Bitcoin remains the most durable and robust currency for the world, in both good times and apocalyptic scenarios.
