Some nature of banking is necessary to function. It’s all but unavoidable for those who have utilities, mortgages, insurance and the like. It’s not possible to go all cash for the vast majority in the modern world. Stressing out over some future possible worst-case scenario is going to send you to an early grave. Making contingencies and studying the matter to try to understand how to contend with it is a good thing but it’s highly individual as far as arrangements you choose to make. If you see a need to go to barter items then by all means, I’m not stopping you. You’re barking up the wrong tree. I just think bitcoin is overhyped and carries a fair share of risk, perhaps more than dollars do, that’s all.
The thing that makes Bitcoin so attractive to me is that government has no control over it.
Government is the greediest, most corrupt and murderous force on Earth.
I fear that you will be forced to agree with me before too much longer.
