quick, somebody tell me if a third world war is good for bitcoin
it obviously is, duh
Everyone will be clamoring for non-governmental currencies like bitcoin in a post apocalyptic scenario. Unlike nonexistent governmental forces, etherium smart contracts have enforcement mechanisms built-in.
Pedaling my bike generator so I can mine bitcoin on a world with no power grid.
Pedal fast my friend! The entire economy is depending on you!
Drooling fingers, panic buttons
Playing with missiles like they're toys
And there's easy money, easy jobs
Especially when you build the bombs
That blow big cities off the map
Just guess who profits when we build 'em back up?
they would die same as everybody else
they're hoping to pull a dr. strangelove
What if we trick them into thinking the nukes are dropping so they all get in their bunkers and never come out?
yeah but what I am saying is that those plans won't work they fundamentally underestimate the sheer power of the bombs being discussed
