Turn off the power, try to buy something with BTC. Government blocks access to your wallet on the Internet infrastructure. Hurricane whipes out everything in your AO. You are trying to pay your mortgage with BTC and your BTC wallet doesn’t work at WalMart...

See? Specifics. Easy.

Government blocks access to your wallet on the Internet infrastructure.

Fascinating. The government blocks access to my wallet. On my desktop computer. How pray tell do they do that?

Meanwhile I can find plenty of stories of banks and governments blocking people's access to their own money in fiat institutions every day. Just ask the NRA, or the Canadian freedom convey protestors. You have it perfectly backwards.

Bitcoin is uncensorable, directly contrary to your delusional "your BTC wallet doesn't work" commentary. Anyone can post a TX to the thousands of nodes on the global network, and that's effectively impossible to stop. If someone cut your internet cable you could literally mail me a postcard with the TX and I could post it for you.

It's impossible to prevent uninformed people from having opinions on subjects - but mouthing off like you know what you are talking about doesn't persuade people, it just misinforms others while making a fool of yourself to those better informed.
