Always, always keep cash on hand! We just went through a hurricane and gas stations and some stores were taking cash only. They weren’t gouging at all but wouldn’t take cc’s.

A Puerto Rican dude that I worked with had family up in the hills in the Old Country. When they got whalloped by hurricanes, they went MONTHS without power, meaning cash-only. His mom didn’t trust banks...but then here mattress become a bank for her village (they all respected her enough to not try anything cute).

The BEST WAY to end talk of a Digital Currency is to simply SHUT DOWN electronic payments for a week...hopefully some Russian hackers will do just that.
