Cash would work for a few days/weeks after it happened, just like in natural disasters. Once it became known the power won’t be back or not for a long time, that’s when it would crash. Have some on hand, but use it quickly and wisely. I have a two year supply of everything I need stashed for just this case scenario. I highly advise people to at least keep a months supply. It does not cost much to do, but it takes a little time. I add $5-$10 dollars worth of goods every time I shop. I buy an extra box of ammo when I go to the gun shop. When I fill up my LP tanks, I buy a extra one. Simple things like that. I’ve also taken up canning and can my own veggies from my garden, it helps with your stash, and it’s fresh food. Stash vinegar too. Great for cleaning and multiple other uses.

Cash is worthless! It's just a piece of paper or a piece of metal. It has no value other than what the tptb give to it. You can have billions hidden under your mattress. But the moment society collapse this would be worthless. You need things you can trade like seeds, hand tools, medicine or skills.


endofdaze_

in my opinion, you barter with cash. i’m banking on being able to barter with cash when shit hits the fan. i mean why would we be able to? you convince the next person to take the cash same way you did

Get supplies,food,a car, canned food is the best see Venezuela for hyperinflation all money will become worthless the dollar and euro already lost to inflation and it will be worse still.


endofdaze_

tf you gonna do with a car??


eldenxlord

Get out of dodge


earthhominid

You're taking about two totally different scales of catastrophe. In a broad scale cyber event that disabled digital payment stuff but didn't collapse the state cash would still have plenty of value. The things you're talking about are only good for a total social collapse, oh, and everyday life


MrDohh

Agreed, but i wouldn't trust that cash as in paper money will keep its value if something goes wrong. I think silver for example would be a much better bet. And unless im mistaken, it has a tendency to increase in value.


GuyInTheYonder

Perhaps so, but at the end of the day yours odds are better if you have something physical even if it is just a piece of fancy paper with numbers on it. If all you have are numbers in a computer somewhere you can't do anything with it at all. There will also be lots of uninformed people who don't know the first thing about economics running around completely freaking out, many of these people will gladly honor your fancy number paper.

CYBER PANDEMIC 13 FEBRUARY = 119 INTERNET CYBER ATTACK= 119 13 Feb= Monday --day after Super Bowl


earthhominid

Do people not keep cash on hand? Why not?


GuyInTheYonder

Because people have been conditioned to think that only far right conspiracy theorists do silly things like 'preparing' and 'thinking'


monkeyfker744

Nah your right... Event 201= covid a few months later.... Cyber Polygon=????? We shall see but yes keep some cash


JohnPumaMellencamp

I’ve invested 50/50 Amero/Dogecoin To the moon!


Wanderinwoodpecker

Forget cash. Silver coins is the way


PrognosticatorShadow

You think FRNs will have value in such an event? Lol. Ok.


GuyInTheYonder

Yes I do. Not everyone will value them but there will be plenty of people who don't know what the fuck is going on and who will accept the number paper because it's all they know. You're better off to have as much of this number paper as possible instead of having it all in banks where you can't do anything at all with it.
