Do you imagine every other currency in the world will vanish if the dollar collapses? I've bought dozens of things with bitcoin. If/when the dollar collapses then you just buy everything with bitcoin, or anything else that holds value.

The value of bitcoin is in no way dependent on the US dollar.

Until I can physically walk into Kroger with something tangible & unalterable and buy products, what good is it when the SHTF?

Bitcoin is worth $68,000 something like that, right. Inflation rages & a bc is "worth" much more, a 100 times that - and it does not matter how you figure it and how you safeguard it...so what? It still has to be converted into something suitable for everyday, non-internet on-the-steet commerce. Something already wildly inflated.

All this conversationn should be about post-SHTF, when anyhing internet connected may not be worth anything - banking accounts, 401k, credit cards.

If you want to talk "on paper" wealth, have fun with it.
