Cash will be king and precious metals will be the emperor.
Life now is good for most folks, in a crash it will not be so good but many of the things we enjoy can be preserved. Roof top solar can provide electricity even if you have no money to pay an electric bill. Cellular technology will not likely go anywhere but prepaid plans will become the norm.
Food purchases could be problematic, just look at Venezuela.
You should have storage at home. Food will be available but it may be available only sporadically. If you don't have means to keep refrigerated food your options could become unattractive. Get a deep freeze and a means to keep it going for at least a couple hours a day.
Have a means to protect what you have and hide what you have from others, family will be the most important associations you will have.
The value of cash will fluctuate, likely in the wrong direction as the government prints more and more of it, it will be nearly worthless. Keep a good portion of your cash in pre-1964 coin, quarters, dimes and half dollars. They will always have value. While gold has a lot of value is worth violence to get, people will kill for it if they know you have it, be careful. Ammo will be a good barter tool and likely as good as money. If you have an opportunity to get ammo for a good price it doesn't matter that you don't have a gun that will shoot it. If ammo is scarce then guns will be cheap.
Organize your family to help hold what you have, be a survivor.
Good post.
f the world crashes all the stolen data will be useless.

I agree that stolen data becomes useless in a really bad SHTF scenario. I suspect that it would be important to be able to prove/retain ownership of property at least for a period of time...
Cash may be king for a while...same for Gold being Emperor ...
I wonder tho should things go really south, would we move to a bartering/trading economy?
I am speculating that things like packaged food, first aid supplies, OTC medicines, alcohol, cigarettes, grill lighters, etc. could become very valuable.
